Recycling efforts teach students to take care of Earth

Columbus Jewish Day School students this year have collected more than 3,000 beauty-product containers to recycle through a company named TerraCycle. The schoolwide recycling program began five years ago when fifth- and sixth-grade Judaic studies teacher Eva Tibor said she encouraged students to recycle their empty juice pouches. Tibor said the school expanded the program and began recycling energy-bar wrappers and containers for food and beauty products.
