Last Day of May!

Today, we walked through Montgomery Village and we found trash, as usual. As you can see in the pictures below, we found many bottles, bags, and wrappers, all of which are easy to dispose of. I think pollution is going to be becoming a bigger problem as it gets warmer outside as more people are going to be walking outside which means more trash is going to be thrown out. Also, since it's getting warmer many animals are coming out, so trash is going to have a bigger impact on them. Just remember to throw your trash away and recycle when you can, see you in June!

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend, we decided to go for a walk around North Creek lake because it was such a nice day. We brought new trash pickers because our previous ones broke, but we did not end up finding that much trash because the vegetation had grown so much. All the leaves and foliage ended up blocking our view and preventing us from getting too close to the water's edge. From what we could see, the lake seemed a lot cleaner. While we didn't see that much trash, we did end up seeing a lot of wildlife, including a beaver, which I had never seen before in this lake!
Another interesting thing we saw was that recently the lake had some fishing material disposal containers added. This is really great because it provides a specific place to discard those materials so that they can be recycled accordingly. Lots of people fish at this lake so hopefully it will make a difference in our community! Here are some pictures we took today.
