When we see the reduced demand for oil as a result of market conditions around the world which  resulted in the reduction of oil extraction in the Dakotas, and then we see that the demand for recycled plastics made from oil has also been reduced by 40% and we see recycling centers in California, Missouri, Colorado, Florida, Illinois have closed and that Waste Management (WM), the nation's largest garbage company, sold or jettisoned 30 recycling facilities, the Duck U students' activities aren't even a minor pimple on the issue.  
 Market forces much more effective that a dozen kids lounging in President Schill's office from 8-5 (except on weekends and Spring Break, of course) will determine what happens in this industry. 
Don Quixote had Sancho Panza and Rocinante to help him.  (The horse seemed the most astute.)  The Duck U Johnson Hall  loungers...A Faculty Senate Resolution.  The same U of O Faculty Senate that resolved to kill ROTC in the 1960's--still there a half century later.
