Happy Earth Day

My son has been learning about the enviroment and recycling at school, and asked if we could clean up out front of our house. Sounds weird right? Where we live we really don’t have a front yard it’s like a walkway and then the driveway. We live in a duplex on a hill. The thing is though there is a wooded area in front of our gated walkway, and we live between a middle school and a 7-11. Plus there is a gas station/service station across the street.

So there is a lot of garbage in the wooded area, from the students and people going to 7-11 and then walking back.

So our Earth day project today was to pick up the garbage outside and if we see any garbage throughout the day. There really is no reason to litter, it’s bad for teh earth and there are garbages everywhere.

The garbage:

I am thinking a lot of this never got cleaned up after Hurricane Sandy, because we found clothes, political signs etc. Very Weird?

We collected two grocery bags full, plus there is still more out there. It is either stuck in the ground, or to steep on the hill to get.

What are you doing for Earth Day?
