??Campus Folk: Treasure in the trash bins

Rice University's three-mile "Outer Loop" hosts a multitude of active Houstonians every day. Some people run, some bike, and some walk and talk with friends. Yvonne Jacobs recycles. Ever since moving to Texas from California about 40 years ago, Jacobs has become an ever-visible character on the Outer Loop. Though her name may not ring a bell, she is instantly recognizable by the vest she wears, which reads, "Recycle good, Reuse better, Reduce best, 350.org."
