Rebecca Okin, you have the distinction of surpassing Katie Hougan this week, which is not an easy feat. But don’t rest on your laurels because I’m sure Katie has been saving up her recyclables diligently and will clear her garage next week. Watch out as her mom pops the trunk and unloads. The lady driving with mountains of trash bags in her car is not a vagrant. She is a keen green recycling machine!
Ashley Song is poised to capture Third Place by next week with Mathew Brennan coming right behind at Fourth. Fifth Place is being contested at the moment. Though new to recycling, Aidan Gerard is consistent with his contributions and has a shot at the Fifth Place prize. Next week is the last hurrah, kids, so give it your best shot.
