The+Big+Sweep-+Loblolly+Trail

I went to the Big Sweep at Loblolly Trail on December 2nd for one of my action plans. Around PNC Arena and surrounding creeks, we picked up tons of trash. The amount of trash that we saw and picked up was unbelievable. We were told that most of the trash we saw around the creeks came as a result of runoff from PNC Arena. This related to the pollution aspect of Environmental Science. I saw that most of the trash we were picking up would be considered non-degradable pollutants which end up having detrimental effects on ecosystems. The lack of species and diversity in the area could likely be attributed to these pollutants.
