RECLAMATION CENTERS / Reynolds Metals Company opened another 
reclamation center in Los Angeles. A reclamation center is a central col- 
lection point to which people in an area turn in all-aluminum cans from 
streets or highways for payment. The new Reynolds center pays 8 cents 
a pound for the cans and is part of the company’s efforts to “Keep Los 
Angeles Beautiful.” 
An idea for those ‘asphalt jungles’... . 
IAS members can help to fight an increasing menace, “asphalt 
jungles.” These are the new, enormous shopping centers 
with treeless parking lots. Dedicated to making money and 
fitting as many shoppers’ cars as possible on their property, 
the owners neglect greenery. There is probably no pressure 
at all on them from the public to beautify their lots. Judiciously 
written letters can help to rectify the situation. You can do 
something! If you see such a shopping center, write the 
owners (their names can be obtained from one of ihe store 
managers) or the regional office of the largest store on the 
property. They should be made aware that trees and other 
landscaping enhance their property and make shopping more 
pleasant; this, of course, ought to attract more shoppers. 
Let us begin to pressure these people a little.
