1. Vivian Chuang (11) analyzes, categorizes, and jots down notes about various pieces of garbage that she has collected during Mrs. Parker’s on-campus coastal cleanup. According to fellow participant Emma Lewer (12), this was “the most challenging part of the cleanup. It often wasn’t easy to figure out what type of trash we had collected, so we were unsure of how to sort it.”
2. Chelsea Feng (10) and Angela Wang (10) take note of a Starbucks pastry bag found near Founder’s Hall. Even on the beautiful Priory campus, the student volunteers found trash5in practically every corner.
3. Sonya Walker (11) clutches a chicken from the coop at the Priory garden. A cornerstone of the Priory sustainability program, the chickens are raised in an environmentally conscious fashion and provide fresh eggs to the cafeteria.
4. The team shows off their hard work, exhibiting the six full trash bags of litter collected throughout just an hour and a half of work. “Volunteering and collecting trash showed me how much people litter on campus,” said Sam Putney (12). “I was especially surprised that we collected so much garbage considering how small of a campus Priory is.”
5. Wanqi Jiang (10) regards a food container discarded outside of the fine arts buildings, one of the many pieces of garbage collected during the cleanup. “The cleanup really made me realize how much trash there is on campus,” said Wanqi.
