One of the aspects to greening that went on at Rothbury which to me is so important are the “pods.” Which is what the majority of greener’s did at Rothbury. This job entailed standing behind a set of three properly labeled trash cans: green= compost, blue= recycle, and red= landfill.

Other than acting as garbage goalies, it was the volunteers job to make sure that patrons were properly educated on the “what goes where” process.

Volunteers were actually encouraged to call people back to the cans if an item was placed in the incorrect spot to give them a hard lesson on where things belong. Doing this demonstrated that if it’s done wrong you’ll be held accountable, and it actually made the volunteers job easier because they wouldn’t have to fish after that piece of trash.

Thanks for giving props to all the hard workers that make Rothbury green!
