COSBY-Her friends say that Eunice Jijon's goal in life is to save the world through recycling.

For now, Eunice, a sophomore at Cosby High School, and her friends and fellow sophomores Caley Williamson, Emily Hartsell, and Kate Grubb are working to do their part by collecting "slightly worn" blue jeans to recycle and distribute to young people living in homeless shelters.

All four are members of Cosby Academy, the highly successful organization launched several years ago to help CHS students prepare themselves for college by taking advanced courses, completing community service projects, and broadening their horizons through field trips and other study programs.
