The approval of this legislation heralds a new chapter in our public school systems' assessment and in the education of our children.

Should Adair County look at novel solution to glass problem?

Future Problem Solving teams might find use for glass if given chance to take part in process

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Is necessity still the mother of invention? It's too bad that the recycling center is no longer accepting glass, but isn't this the kind of situation that prompts someone to get a great idea?

There are several uses for recycled glass and probably several more than haven't been put to good use yet. There must be a few creative thinkers who can come up with a possibility for glass trash and some sharp industrial/manufacturing types who could figure out how to make it a reality.
