86+trash+or+treat+wake+county

The Action Plan I went to was the big sweep clean up at walnut creek. I went there to clean the lake and as the supervisors there divided us into 4 groups of people I was sent in one direction and the others were sent in another direction to cover more area of the creek and we all started at the wetland center near the creek. The creek was very dirty and had a lot of pollution throughout the creek because there was a school next to it and a community and it can be inferred that the students of that school are not very good environmentalists because there was so much trash there. It can also be said that people from different communities near the creek went to the creek as a place to drink beer and eat food because we found many wrappers and beer bottles that our buckets filled up to the brim. This is related to environmental science because the event helped the students see how people are treating their rivers and how the pollution can make the water very dirty causing harm to the ecosystem.
