Recycling Old Scholar

We visited the careers fair in the Slieve Donard Hotel today, and met up with a Shimna Old Scholar, Aaron Hawthorne.  He showed us where he works at the back of the hotel in the impressive recycling plant.  He works at recycling the food waste from the hotel, processing the waste into fertilizer for the hotel gardens.  The plant also deals with all the cardboard waste.  We were really impressed, as food waste recycling is something we have only started to think about for Shimna's kitchens, and our wonderful cardboard recycling scheme is no longer operating.  Aaron has invited us down to visit the plant, and we will certainly be taking him up on the invitation.  Great to see you looking so well Aaron.
