Recycling Scholarship Winners
Syracuse, NY: On Wed., Nov 14 2007 at 4:00
PM, at Naef Recycling, (380 Carr St. East Syracuse) Mark Naef,
President will award a $500 check to Shante White, a senior at
Henninger High School and Manar Suleiman, a senior at Solvay High
School and give them a tour of the recycling plant.“The world we live in is rapidly changing,” said Mark Naef. “The price of oil is up 56percent this year and 365% in a decade. Many people do not realize the energy they are saving through recycling. Recycling a six pack of aluminum cans saves enough energy to drive a car 5 miles.” The contest is designed to promote recycling awareness in schools and throughout the community. The essay contest was judged judged by a five person committee: * Carmen Harlow - Deputy Commissioner of Public Works, City of Syracuse * Don Hughes - Board member, Recycling Committee, Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency * Mark Naef - President, Naef Recycling LLC * Jim Corbett - Chairman of the Environmental Protection Committee, Onondaga County legislature. * Martha Loew - Chair of the Iroquois Group of Sierra Club & long time environmental activist.
