Day 20

Tuesday began at 9am in the misty, muggy, buggy, wet community garden. We were meeting a reporter and a photographer to get interviewed and photographed. We're hoping to gain some publicity which will hopefully add to our credibility. The two of them stood, photographed, took notes, asked questions, and genuinely seemed impressed while the four of us uncovered, turned, measured, added to, and covered our pile, seemingly unfazed by the local rodents. We were questioned about the grants we received (which add up to $17,100 total), about the science of our pile, and where we hoped to see it in the future. Relatively harmless, and quickly we wrapped it up as we finished turning our pile. Said goodbyes and see ya soons, and we went back to Mountain Top.

The amount of work we got done was relatively negligible, but I scheduled us what became one of our most important meetings we've had thus far. At 1:30pm we were due to talk to Kristin from Sodexo who is the Director of Dining Services and alternately the Sustainability Coordinator. She was so enthused to meet us. Our hour meeting flew by, and it was full of brainstorming ideas to help make Lehigh's campus better. The meeting actually inspired me to want to change part of my major so I would be Computer Science Engineering and Sustainability. With our hopes and our heads up, we left Brodhead for a quick debriefing, and called it a day.

Wednesday is Burrito Day. Get ready.
