On Saturday morning Burkies participated in Vermont's "Green Up" day. People all over the state walked the streets picking up trash in an effort to make our state greener. We were tasked with Mountain Road from Rt. 114 to Mid-Burke Lodge, as well as Alpine Lane from school around the condo loop to the Sherburne Baselodge. We spent a couple hours collecting trash and recycling. The general sentiment was that the students couldn't believe how much trash was on the sides of the roads. The instructions were for each student to bring two big black trash bags with them, and they couldn't believe they would each fill two - but they did! I also asked around for the most interesting finds. The list includes: two pocket knives, a dollar, a full set of keys, a sneaker, a diaper, a dog bed, a muffler, an old Mid-Burke Lodge sign, and a Pepsi can made of tin (SO old!).
Lindley and I provided instructions for the students (thanks to Darrell for organizing it!)
