The ramen noodle wrapper sat inside a recycling drawer, but that wasn’t good enough. Joshua Potter grabbed the plastic, which had been mistakenly placed with candy wrappers, and removed it from the Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center kitchen. Outside the building, he deposited the wrapper in one of 10 recycling containers labeled for different kinds of garbage. Staff members at the Stone Valley center take throwing away trash seriously. In fact, they have zero tolerance for it.
