I have a few things to talk about. First, the session we had a few weeks ago, the communication one with the supposed jet simulation, was kind of boring. I didn't really learn anything new. We reinforced the importance of proper communication and the difficulties that can arise, but it sort of felt a bit like a waste of time. The videos we saw from Random 1 were very interesting. It certainly made me want to go out and do something. This most recent session's video with Ben Zander was very intriguing as well. He made some brilliant points and I wish more people would watch it, because a lot of it was true.
I have one more thing to discuss. I did the recycling day of service for a bit on Saturday, and I can definitely see some problems with the system. The recycling program should be given more work study students. They are understaffed, so the bins we emptied were overflowing. I worked in Voorhees, where the recycling is in a closet labeled waste and recycling. There is no waste bin in it, so this should be changed. We ran into quite a lot of rubbish thrown in the recycling bins, and I think part of it might be because of the way it is labeled. Also, there should be better education as to what can be recycled. We found a few items that were not in fact recyclable that were in the bins, and while I appreciate the sentiment and the desire to recycle, we should make clear what can be recycled and what cannot. On the flip side, I am sure there are many things that are not recycled that can be. Overall, it was a very eye-opening experience and a good time.
