A Large Collection!

A few days ago my family went on another walk around our neighborhood, but this time, we brought a trash bag. We collected so much trash, it was crazy! It ws probably one of our most successful collections so far! There were so many plastic bottles, wrappers, even a piece of carpet, and a milk jug. The trash bag was practically full when we arrived back to our starting point. Here are two pictures that we took!

September Lake Visit

Yesterday, me and my family went for a walk around North Creek Lake. We collected newer trash and most of them were recyclable, but there is no recycle bin at the lake! It is necessary to have a recycle bin there. 

I have been doing this project with my younger sister, Sana. She will be blogging and posting with me from now on. It is getting a little chilly now that it is September. But here is a picture from last night.

Neighborhood Walk

Last night, my family went on a quick walk and collected some trash along Montgomery Village Ave -> Watkins Mill Rd. We found a lot of trash for a 30 minute walk. It wasn't even at North Creek lake, it was in our neighborhood, around  the sidewalk! It is suprising to me, that there was so much litter just lying around and nobody bothered to pick it up. Here is a picture attached below.

Back to School!

Sadly, this Monday, the new school year starts. I will be going into the 7th grade. But today, my family went for a walk in our neighborhood on Apple Ridge. We found trash, which we collected as usual, but we were not at a lake. All of this liter could have easily been thrown away. Here is a picture of the trash we collected.

Happy 4th of July

Yesterday, my dad, sister, and I went to the lake and collected trash. This is the first time in a while that we have recorded one of our visits to the lake, even though we have still been going. The grass was green, the flowers were blooming, and the lake looked really pretty. When we were looking for trash, I noticed that most of the trash we found was recently discarded. People continue to litter. If you look back at our other posts and see how much trash we have collected, then you can imagine what the lake would look like if we hadn't cleaned it up. Also, one of our trash-pickers broke, leaving us with only two, but we will still continue to clean. Here are some pictures from yesterday.

March Trash Collection

Hi everyone, sorry for not getting on for so long, but it's been really cold! We managed to get to the lake and clean up some trash a little while ago, and we found some cans, water bottles, and even a boot! My dad is convinced that we have found the other one while we were looking for trash previously. We are going to clean up more frequently, now that it is getting warmer. Here is a picture of the trash we collected!

Fall is Here!

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't posted. But I did pick up some trash while I was gone! My family went to the lake recently and found that the lake is getting more clean. Most of the trash we find is old, not recent, which makes me happy and excited. I also found that it is getting a little more easy to spot the old neglected trash than it was over the summer. Some of the summer/fall vegetation are dying, exposing more trash than before. Not to worry, we are cleaning the trash up pretty efficiently! The picture of the trash is down below!
