Rishi Gohil

Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/09
Limited to 25 participants
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions

This 3-day session will run through the lifecycle of objects of all types from the trash receptacle (trash, recycling, compost) to their ultimate end.

By the end you will walk away with a greater awareness and understanding of materials as they run through the disposal and recycling part of their lifecycle.

The session is envisioned to potentially include trips to nearby facilties to illustrate concepts and offer a more "hands on" instruction.

RSVP is required by January 9, 2015
