After meeting with Franziska, the Scholars had a great experience volunteering at Glass Half Full Nola on December 4. The Scholars were able to assist with glass drop off, helping glass donors sort their glass into the various color-types. The Scholars were also given a quick view of the new glass processing machine that will be able to process literal tons of glass every hour, a huge efficiency improvement from their previous glass processing machine.
The Scholars also got to take home some “Second Life” glass – pretty glassware that had been donated but was too nice to crush into sand. Overall, we were very impressed with Glass Half Full Nola’s operation and hope to grow our partnership. Thank you to the GHF team for having us!
