Big+Sweep+at+Loblolly+Trail

For my action plan I went to the Big Sweep in Loblolly Trail on December 2. There we picked up trash from many different areas including the PNC Arena and the end of the Loblolly Trail itself. I had attended another Big Sweep before this and this one amazed me by the tremendous amount of trash present in this area. According to our Big Sweep event coordinator, the majority of the trash is runoff from the Arena. This relates to environmental science because pollution is a huge problem in our society today and we cleaned up a lot of that pollution in a small area. I learned a lot about how the demography of an area has a direct result on the amount of pollution in that place. The higher the population is at one place, the higher the amount of trash will result.
