On Wednesday, Metro High School students were introduced to the Garbage Project. After viewing a series of video clips about Dr. William Rathje's work, students received a personal introduction to the project by Dr. Sheli Smith of the PAST Foundation, who worked on the original Garbage Project as an undergraduate.
