Back to School Walk

School is starting soon for me and my sister, we haven't visited any lakes recently but we have taken walks around our neighborhood and our community. A few days ago my whole family decided to take a walk. My sister and I rode our bikes and our parents walked. While going down the sidewalk our dad found a plastic bag and started putting trash that we collected in it. Over the course of our walk we found lots of trash, mostly bottles and wrapping paper from fast food restaurants. When we finished the walk, I took a picture:

Trash We Picked Up in our Neighborhood

My mom, dad and I went to a walk in our neighborhood and found some trash as we were walking. So we picked them up, put in a bag and threw them in a nearby trash can. We  picked up two bags as we walked, found a few bottles, cans, and food packages. There is a lot to be done.

Family Posting

Hey everyone, from now on, my dad and sister will also be posting on this blog to share more of the work we are doing with you all. As Summer continues, we continue to collect trash and try to expand this project. Just a few days ago we went out on another walk and picked up some more trash. Here are some pictures down below of the trash we collected. Stay tuned to see my younger sister and dad post!

School's Out

A while ago my family went on another walk and we collected trash. Summer is here and there is no more school. Here are some pictures of the trash we found.

Summer Is Almost Here

Yesterday, we went on another walk around our community and collected some more trash. It's great that school is almost over and I plan on swimming and collecting lots of trash over this summer. Trash can be easy to spot on the ground and now that lots of people are outside, the amount of litter has gone up a lot. Here are two pictures that we took of the trash.

Summer Trash Collecting

Hey everyone! Summer is on the way and my family and I are having fun and preparing by collecting trash on walks we take. A few days ago while walking, we collected some trash and got back to our neighborhood trash can to find that the trash can's bottom is completely gone! I was shocked to see that the trash can was completely broken and all of the trash thrown inside was falling out the bottom. So instead of putting our trash in the bin, we put it in a plastic bag and left it next the the broken trash can. We were later glad to see that the trash can was replaced and it has been really clean around our neighborhood. This summer we plan to go to the lake a lot more and collect more trash, and I am so excited to do more and help keep our lakes and environment clean. Here are some pictures of the trash we collected as well as the broken trash can!

Winter Trash Picking

This winter, we got lots of snow, so finding time to collect trash was difficult. Luckily, it got warmer in March and my parents went for a late night walk a few days ago. They collected trash along the way and here is a picture. They said that there was a lot of trash in the bushes, but they were too hard to collect, so they left them there. Instead my parents picked the trash near the road.
