TODAY MARKS EXACTLY three months since I returned to work at Green Apple, after an absence of a number of years of globetrotting, doing eco-research and development in the field. So if I make it to the end of the day, then I guess that means that Peter has been pleased with my performance thus far, and that he’s willing to having me stick around for a little while longer. Well, if I’m going to be hanging around for the foreseeable future, then I think I’ve earned the right to start establishing a few new traditions at Green Apple. For example, from now on, let’s end off every month’s worth of blogs with a blast from the past, a story or photograph from the Green Apple archives.
FOR THE FIRST TIME in Green Apple history, we have two full-time teams in the field! We’ve expanded and brought two new dedicated landscapers on board. One of the GA teams is now working on a job on Manning Avenue in the downtown district, so I swung by there yesterday to take a couple of shots of the noobies. Here are the new friendly faces — welcome to the team!
HEY, WHO SAYS THAT I don’t get all filthy on the job like I used to? Since I got tapped to direct communications and ecological initiatives here at Green Apple, I hardly even break into a sweat anymore, except when I’m biking to work and back. But today I got to go out into the field and do dirty deeds. It seems that plastic pylons are prized possessions, because someone — or something — has been picking off our pylons one by one for quite a while now. To combat this phenomenon, I used a skill set that I haven’t had any real need for in the last several years, ever since I was a graffiti artist almost a decade ago. I’m obviously out of practice, because it got pretty messy out there, but at least I got the job done: I labeled the orange cones that we use to alert traffic to the presence of our heavy equipment and other building materials. Now pylon pilferers will think twice before disappearing our property, because our logo announces our presence. And when you see the two-tone GA logo around town, you’ll know who’s working the earth behind the house — your friendly neighbourhood landscapers at Green Apple.
