Original Toronto Star caption: Proving you can stop pollution; Action in Recycling (AIR) is a project of the Drury Avenue Public School parents' association and it has filled the garage of Mr. and Mrs. Cary Wolgelerenter with tin cans collected by students to show that separating tin cans for recycling - again in manufacturing - so it can be used removes pollution and can have economic benefits. Neighborhood youngsters pitched in yesterday to help load truck with the cans.
