Each year, Divert NS provides a bursary and work placement opportunity to a NSCC student in the Natural Resources Environmental Technology or Environmental Engineering Technology programs. This year’s recipient is Gerardo Velez, who is entering his second year in Natural Resources Technology. As part of his internship, Gerardo will be a contributing WNN reporter, reporting on areas of waste management that are important to him.
Over the course of five weeks, I had the privilege of working with Divert NS, an organization dedicated to waste diversion and recycling management. This internship not only deepened my understanding of environmental sustainability but also sparked a passion for recycling and waste management that aligns with my career aspirations.
