David+Childress+Big+Sweep

This Saturday, I went to the Trick-or-Treat Big Sweep Trash pickup in Raleigh. It was very interesting for me because it was across the street from the middle school I went to. I went with a group of about 20 other people and we patrolled the trails, looking for trash. Our group filled up 6 bags of trash and recycling. Some unique items that my group found included an ammunition box and a squirrel skull. While it was fun and our group picked up a lot of trash, I made me feel sad there weren't that many people there. If we had even more people, we could have gotten even trash. It is important for our whole community to be involved and active in protecting our environment.
