Gree(n)tings everyone!!!
I hope you and yours are doing well. I've been busy getting ready for nationals but also continuing my service as Miss Earth Maryland exploring my beautiful state and advocating for my Beauties for a Cause project. I'm so excited that two weeks from today I'll be getting ready to head to California for the opportunity for the job of Miss Earth United States. I've been working a lot and smart as Miss Earth Maryland, and by God's grace I hope to continue this on a bigger platform as Miss Earth US. All modesty aside, I want this really bad but as a Christ-believer, I know it's in God's hands. If you'll like to follow my preparation and journey, follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

On Monday, July 6, I took a tour of the Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station in Derwood, Maryland. This is the first stop for all recycled materials and wastes in Montgomery County. Residents can also drop off various wastes such as electronics, batteries, yard waste, clothing and textiles, scrap metals, etc. Being in the recycling center reminded me of a mine processing plants because of the conveyor system, front-end loaders, trommels, etc. they use to transport, sort, and breakdown the materials. For foot safety, I wore my steel-toe boots to the plant. During the tour, I wore earplugs in the plant, because it is very loud in there with all the machines in operation. I am so proud to be a Montgomery County resident, a county that is environmentally- and socially-responsible. Special thanks to Mr. Edward Murtagh of GreenWheaton for taking me to the plant, showing me around, and explaining the processes in details.

| Miss Earth Maryland 2015 Ruby B. Johnson Green Queen: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle |
The 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - The triangle in the recycling sign represents the Waste Hierarchy. The universal recycling symbol was created in 1970 by college student Gary Anderson as part of a contest tied to the very first Earth Day. Each arrow of the design represents one of the steps in the recycling process: collecting the recyclable goods after use, breaking them down and reforming them, and then packaging new products in the containers.
