Back to School!!

School started 2 weeks ago, so we haven't had much time to post these pictures, but as we said in our last post regarding a newly found area with a plentiful amount of trash, we went and picked it up. We went with a few big trash bags along with grabbers in order to pick up as much trash as we could find. We ended up getting 3 bags full of trash as seen in the photos below, and all the trash was detrimental to the environment. Speaking of school, in my English class we watched a TED Talk from 16 year old climate activist Greta Thunburg and it was really eye opening as it brought into perspective just how much we need to save the environment. So as always, remember to always be environmentally aware of your decisions and have a great school year!

Virginia Beach

My family and I just came back from a four day trip to Virginia beach, where we relaxed in yurts and cleaned up some trash along the way!. Because we stayed at a camp ground, there was a lot of small pieces of litter to pick up, especially in the sand. We also saw both a beached dead sea turtle and a dead pelican. The sea turtle was slightly more than four feet in length, and its shell was half destroyed. A few people who saw it believed that it might have been damaged by a boat propeller. This is one example of human impact right in front of us. Hopefully it did not pass away because of this reason, but it reminds us of the importance of being careful of wildlife.
