Thank you to the Mason-Rice community for an incredible World Cultures Fair and to so many of you for your attentiveness and cooperation at the waste sorting station this past Saturday! Without your help and support, we would not have made it through the entire food fair without changing out a single trash bag (that's right, we hardly filled the two trash bins from The Centre because we were able to compost most of the waste!).
A special thanks to our Green Team superstars Eren and Phillip (and also Stella, Celina, Cassandra, Sophia and Jay) for their dedication, determination, conscientiousness and patience in guiding Mason-Rice students and parents to properly dispose of their trash. In particular, Eren powered through the entire food fair from beginning to end (HUGE thank you, Eren!!!), and Philip joined later but stayed later than all of us (even going above and beyond by helping custodian Michael prep the bins for the following school week!). Given that we were short-handed, we definitely could not have done it without them!
We heard lots of compliments and thanks from Mason-Rice parents, who were surprised and grateful for our work at the waste stations. Some had never heard of Black Earth Compost and were inspired to sign up after speaking with us about it; others knew about composting but were not familiar with what could or couldn't go in the bins. Thankfully our Green Team Kids were there to help and educate; and hopefully by the next time we hold this event in two years, Newton residents will all be composting regularly and we'll hardly even need a trash bin :)
