Big+Sweep-+Trash+or+Treat

On October 28th, I attended the Trash or Treat trash clean up event. I helped to clean up trash at the Walnut Creek Wetlands center. This was a change from what I usually do on Saturday mornings, which is watching Netflix or sleeping. Instead, I (along with other students) went into the stream and cleaned up whatever trash we found there. I found lots of pieces of glass, sandwich bags, cups, and food wrappers. My group even found things like a mattress and a rug! This event relates to the course because it really shows how humans interfere with the ecosystem by polluting it. This causes others to have to go back and fix the things that are messed up. This really opened my eyes to how much trash humans produce, and how people just litter, with no regard of the environment.
