Diverting waste from the environment is a value held dear by most Monroe Countians. There's a local government agency independent of Monroe County or its settlements that oversees the management of solid waste (not to be confused with human waste, which is managed by City of Bloomington Utilities). It's the Waste Reduction District of Monroe County, and it's a taxing district like the library or the school corporations: with a separate line item from Bloomington or Ellettsville on a property tax bill.
Our guest today is Elisa Pokral, the Community Outreach Coordinator for the District. She conducts tours, seminars and K-12 classroom presentations, and generally spends her time advocating for the environment. She tells us about the District, its services, and how she approaches her job. Basically, for her, every day is Earth Day.
