How To Recycle (Part I)
by Amy Fleischer
Every year
we throw away enough paper to build a 12-foot high wall that stretches
from New York to Los Angeles. Imagine what would happen if we recycled
that paper. We would produce 95 percent less air pollution and
use 60 percent less energy in the recycling process than we would
if we made new paper from trees!

Are you looking for an opportunity to
give something back to the community? We are looking for a
few outstanding, talented men and women willing to share their business
knowledge and experience.
As a SCORE volunteer, you will join a congenial group of skilled business
professionals who volunteer a few days every month to counsel and help
small businesses succeed.
Why not get the facts and decide whether or not SCORE is for
you. Call 239-430-0081 or visit www.scorenaples.org/joinus.htm for
more information about helping small businesses succeed.
We have immediate needs for full-time resident volunteers to help us
