My experience with this action plan was a lot of fun and really interesting! I spent my Saturday morning helping out our community and ecosystem at the Walnut Creek Wetland Center, instead of sleeping in, which I normally due Saturday mornings. When the actual service began, Jai and I took our bags, and trash pick-uppers, and sort-of claimed a little stream for ourselves and picked up all of the garbage in the stream. We were amazed to find so much trash and ended up filling three bags ourselves! This relates to our course by this being a perfect example of how people can interrupt an ecosystem and/or organism's habitat, and how this royally interferes with an organism's intrinsic value of life. The intrinsic value of life is the argument that every organism has a fundamental right to exist, undisturbed by human interaction. Since it is humans who cause this disturbance it becomes humankind's problem to fix. This service project helps teach people not to litter and how terrible it affects and ecosystem.
