Last period we had a presentation by the VMI physical plant on recycling. They revealed the problems with recycling and the relationship regarding the topic between Rockbridge county and the Virginia Military Institute. The head of the recycling movement at the physical plant and her top worker presented statistics and facts on the amount of recycling at VMI. After sitting through the power point, they asked for advice and we gave informed perspective on what happens with recycling in barracks. The educated discussion eventually ended and we walked around post to witness firsthand the recycling efforts at post. I personally knew that there was recycling at VMI. However, I didn’t consider its importance until now. I think from the educated discussion we had, changes will be made in barracks to account for the lack of recycling rooms and recycling will be promoted much more throughout the corps. The lessons I learned from the reading and my experience is that expeditionary learning sticks and is an important part of adolescent learning. I would like to promote and implement it in some way when dealing with the kids February 11th.
