The Unsung Hero - Joey Mercurio

All the projects here in Biodisesel 2 are not only worthwhile and energy efficient, they are also messy. The left over paint from the Painter Girls, the shovels and concrete from the Hole Diggers, and the debris from the Engine Spliters all collect over time during our work. But who will be the one responsible for helping each and every team with their clean-up methods? That would be Joey Mercurio, our one-man waste management team! He is the man behind the mess, the guru of garbage, and the titan of trash! He is not afraid to confront ANY messy situation! He dives into the disgusting world of chemicals and dirt for the good of our class and this blog is the ultimate shout-out of appreciation!
Throughout the course of working on our Biodiesel projects, Joey has encountered and tackled many cleaning projects that most would turn their nose away from; this includes cleaning oil from buckets, de-clogging a sink, and getting on his hands and knees to clean the floor. How many people do you know that would do that for NO pay? In this day and age, probably not many. That is the reason why Joey is getting such recognition. He is a brave man and we thank him for everything he does. Thank you Joey!
