Local Schools, Business Team Up On Environmentally Friendly Venture

Note: The author of this article incorrectly states that Keystone Oaks High School is in Castle Shannon. It is actually located in Mt. Lebanon.

It's not a dog that's eating the homework at Keystone Oaks. It's a big new green-and-yellow paper gobbler.

Students and others are stuffing the recycling bin outside the high school in Castle Shannon with all the discarded classroom paper they can get -- along with old newspapers, magazines, catalogs and miscellaneous waste paper gathered in the community.

"We're helping the environment, making people more aware of a recycling program and making money off it, too," said senior Lisa Roth, 17, of Green Tree, a member of the school's Environmental Club. "It's really a win-win for us."
