I went to the Walnut Creek wetland to help pick up trash along the streams. This was very fun and a great learning experience because I learned how the pollution can affect the life in aquatic ecosystems. The destruction of the environment in the local streams are mainly because of human impact with littering. There was an insane amount of plastic bags, food wrappers, and pieces of glass scattered along the stream. The color of the water was unusual because of runoff from the drains.

This event relates to environmental science because all the pollution affected the environment in many ways. the trash along the streams can really hurt the animals that live around there. and the water in the stream seemed to be very unsanitary. It is extremely important to stop littering to make our environment a more safe and better place to live for wildlife and for humans.
