Kartik+Fall+Cleanup+Town+of+Cary

On October 28, from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, I volunteered at the Town of Cary's Annual Fall Sweep around the Bond Park community center, boat house, and fields. By walking around with our gloves, litter collection bags and trash pickers, we picked up all the trash we could see near the lake, on the grounds, and in the woods. This included things from plastic bags, metallic sheets, coconuts, pumpkin tops, tennis balls, and even a stress ball in the shape of a brain.

This activity relates to our environmental science class because keeping our environment clean is a part of environmental stewardship, and our duties as humans on this earth. Since our duty is to keep the earth clean for our posterity, partaking in this volunteering experience allowed me to take part in this effort within my community, and experience one of the topics we will be talking about in class, how we can help preserve our earth and keep it clean for many years to come.
