February Family Cleanup

Hello! Today, I am going to be showing you all what we found.

On February 24th, my family and I found a bunch of trash in a local creek. This trash was only a little ways downstream from where I did my science fair project. If you haven’t seen my documentary on my science fair project, you can check it out here! Anyway, this trash was everywhere! We even found some people fishing in this area. It was a good fishing site, because fish that had traveled up here when the river was high were now stuck because of the low water and all of the plastic blocking the way. This is not good for our environment. Our Earth probably feels like this. 
Here is what the creek looked like before we picked it up. YUCK!

Here is what it looked like after we cleaned it up.

Look at all the bags of trash! We picked up NINETEEN bags!

In total, we collected about 750 pounds of trash in 2.5 hours!

Thank you for reading what we did in February! I hope you will take time out of one of your days and help our environment. Then, Earth will then feel like this.
