Wednesday was the busiest and hardest day so far. Megan and I went in the morning to the Green Project, an organization that has been present in New Orleans for thirteen years and has been functioning as the city’s sole recycling center since the storm. They are a nonprofit organization dedicated to creatively promoting and encouraging environmental sustainability in New Orleans. They recycle building materials and paint, deconstruct homes and salvage usable materials. While there we met the acting Director Angela and the executive Director, Donald, who both seemed very excited to have us documenting their work.
The center functions mostly through volunteers who come for the day and help the organization recycle paint and lumber materials, work in the composting section or various other tasks. Megan and I were assigned to do composting for the few hours that we were there.
