Jackie Hartnett was hired at Dorf Car Factory for her strong belief in recycling. Not only did she have all the technical skills required for the job, but she had a personal passion for the well-being of the environment. Her boss, Charlie Damon, was excited by her interest in re-using goods and overall concern for the well-being of the environment. These were not strong values for him personally, and he hoped that Jackie would bring a certain level of awareness to other employees, including him. Jackie came to work at Dorf Car Factory with high hopes. She had been looking for a large organization where she could develop her long-term career goals, and she was encouraged by Dorf's interest in becoming a better "green" employer. She educated herself on the output of the factory and figured out four main ways to reduce harmful elements they were currently releasing into the atmosphere. Jackie's personal interest in recycling dated back to her grade school days when she tracked what happened to all the paper put in the trash pail in each classroom. After learning it ended up in the landfill along with all the other rubbish, Jackie implemented a school-wide recycle program.
