Casual Summer Trash Collection

 Hello everyone! I recently returned back home for my summer break from university. After being away for eight months, it was amazing to spend time with friends and family. When the weather was good, we decided to go to North Creek Lake to take a walk and clean up some trash. On this trip, we walked around only half of the lake, but we were able to collect a bag of trash, which implies that there is still much more work to be done in keeping our community clean. Most of the trash that we found were old and discolored bottles. However, we also found some food containers and plastic packaging. I have attached an image below of the bag that we collected! 

Happy (Late) New Year!

Hi everyone, it's been a while since we last posted, but happy new year! Hopefully, it's been going great for you so far! 

Recently, we walked around the lake and picked up trash as per usual. This time we collected 4 bags of trash! We found lots of bottles, cans, and wrappers. We also found a broken bike thrown into the bushes. Most importantly, we found dead animals. We found a turtle, which was in a pocket of extremely dirty and trash-filled water, and a fish that was inside of a bottle. I think seeing them really emphasized how badly wildlife is impacted by pollution.
