Curron Martin, Week 1

Today at work it was an exciting day for many reasons, first in the morning we met at the library downtown then walked over to Yale to go see CJ May the recycling guy. With CJ I had fun because we talked about a lot of things. For example he showed us a video about the process of recycling and how we can use energy more wisely, and the importance of recycling. When we were there I also learned something that I did not know. In Bridgeport they have an incinerator that burns the trash we produce. After meeting with CJ we went to a store called Ten Thousand Villages. This store was not like any store I have ever been to. In this store they sell things made out of recycled goods, which was neat. At the store we also learned that the people who make the things that this stores sale get paid good money so they can feed their families. The last thing we did at work today was catch the Yale shuttle to East Rock Park. At the park we talked for a little while then we picked up trash and after that it was time to dismiss.
