waste–I mean resource–management. In some ways, I am a perfect example of the people we want to reach. I recycle, but I know I can recycle better. (“What do you mean I can’t put milk cartons in the blue bin?!?!”) I have never composted and am not quite sure where to begin. BUT I am willing to try! (“Ok, what do worms have to do with compost?”) I want to do the right thing for our community and for our environment–so bring on the education!I am excited to be working at CSWD and look forward to continuing the long tradition of service and attention established by my predecessors and embodied by everyone on this incredibly dedicated staff.If you have any questions or feedback, I would love to hear from you! Just reply to this email.

Does your school have what it takes? We invited all Chittenden County K-12 schools to improve their recycling and waste reduction programs, educate the community about what goes in which bin, and activate student engagement through this fun competition.
Schools will be keeping track of their recycling now through April 7th to find find out who is the ultimate Recycling Rockstar!
