Thanksgiving Walk

Happy Thanksgiving! This morning, we took a walk to North Creek lake and found about five bags of trash. I was really surprised there was so much litter because the weather has been getting cooler and most of the trash looks like it was recently discarded, but this shows that we still have a long way to go in keeping our lakes clean. Below are some pictures of the trash we collected!

Low Water Level!

We were walking around our area and we found something really interesting. As we walked around the North Creek Lake, not only did we find trash, but we found the lake with a low water level.

As you can see, the water level isn't as high as it usually is. It's very worrying, and we wonder what's causing it. I think it's because it's dry. Moving on, here are some pictures of the trash that we had found:

So that's all for today folks! See you next time!

August Evening Walks

This summer we spent alot of time swimming and found that we enjoyed biking. We also took several walks around the neighbohood and to nearby lakes. Recently, we took a walk to North Creek lake and collected lots of trash, but we also managed to see a blue heron on the side of the lake. Since many people enjoy coming to the lake to eat and walk around, there is alot of food and beverage litter on the ground and in the water which could easily be thrown away into trashcans instead. Here are some pictures of the trash we picked up and the blue heron.

Summer is Here and School is Over!

Happy Summer everyone! Again, my parents went on a walk to CVS and along their walk they stumbled upon some trash. They obviously picked up the trash. They found bags, cans. bottles, wrappers, and cups. After taking pictures of the trash they properly disposed of the trash. Like I always say, you should always properly dispose of trash because when you throw trash on the ground you're harming animals and plants. Also, you should try your best to pick up trash if you come across it. Here are the pictures:

Even More Trash!

My family and I went on a walk around our neighborhood. While we were walking, we stumbled upon a bunch of trash. We automatically just picked the trash up. We found boxes, bottles, and cups. Remember that we can make our community better by littering less, and if you find trash just pick it up and throw dispose of it properly. Here is the trash we picked up.

Spring Break Discoveries

Over spring break, we decided to go for a walk because the weather was so nice and we wanted to see how the lake was doing in terms of cleanliness. The first thing I noticed when we arrived was that the vegetation had been cleared away from the sides of the lake. As a result of this, as we walked around, we noticed more wildlife than usual. We saw several slider turtles on the edge of the lake. I also saw a blue heron standing still in the water and we watched it quickly snatch a fish out of the water. Because it is the spring, many geese were nesting and we found an egg in the water. Overall, we found a decent amount of trash that were mostly bottles at the lake. It was considerably clean and it was easy to spot trash in the water because of the lack of vegetation which usually got in the way. Below are some of the pictures we took of the wildlife and the trash we collected.

More Trash! Let's Clean it Up!

My parents walked to CVS Pharmacy to get some medicine a couple weeks ago. Along their walk they found and picked up trash, as they usually do. The distance from our house to CVS is about one mile, and they walked along Montgomery Village Avenue. As you can see in the pictures below, they found a lot of bottles and cans. They also found a McDonald's bag, probably because there is a McDonald's next to the CVS. Be sure to think about the environment before littering because you're hurting the environment. If we all care about what we do, I'm sure 2017 will be an amazing year!
