This week Nayab, Will and I returned to the site of Entity Green for a more extensive tour and meeting with Philip about our flourishing partnership. We have decided to start with relatively simple projects to ease our community into forming good, sustainable habits. Two rather innovative projects are the collection of bread and hangers.
We will collect bread from our dining hall and dry it out in the sun- it can then be sent to Entity Green and sold to farmers to feed their animals.
We will collect the wire hangers from the laundry service, gather them in groups of 25 and deliver them to Entity Green, who will sell them for 1 JD/bundle to go towards the costs of transportation for employees and trainees.
It was unbelievable how much had changed at the site since my last visit. They have built a garden, with which they nourish with their full functioning and impressive compost system, and have reorganized the “stations”, where all of the sorting takes place
I am continually impressed with Philip’s creativity, dedication and hard work, and I am so excited for King’s to adopt some of his models and methods.

Thanks for the kind words on our recycling program. It's been my honor to work with Philip as well between his recycling team and my computer hardware class, and we hope that a long term relationship will form with King's Academy!
