Summer Break Collection

Hi everyone! Today we became professionals at trash pick-up by getting great new trash pick-up tools. The tools are trash grabbers and we got 3, one for my dad, my sister, and me. We tested them out today and they worked beautifully! We were able to collect a lot more trash than we normally would have without them. The trash we got was mostly brand-new-freshly littered trash which was pretty disappointing to us. In my opinion it was hard to collect too much trash because of the new vegetation  growing around the lake. Speaking of which, a lot of the vegetation are the lovely milkweed plants, mostly known for attracting butterflies! I am hoping that the next time we go to the lake, it does not have freshly littered trash anywhere close to this time, butterfly population goes up, and there is not as much trash to collect! That's it for me, I hope you enjoy my pictures!

Whetstone Park Trash Pick-Up

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on for a while, but even though I have not posted anything for May does not mean I haven't been collecting trash:) On Memorial weekend, my family visited a different lake! We went to a lake called Whetstone Park which is 3 miles south of my house. It was cleaner than our usual lake, North Creek. We picked up some pieces of trash, and saw a tire as well.  We could not collect it.  Maybe next time with the right tool... A funny thing was that there were lots of turtles at that particular lake :). We even took a picture.... Hope you enjoy it!
