REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & EcosystemsWhat was your experience like plogging, or engaging in another way to collect litter while being outside? Was there any item you collected that was unusual that you found?

Mike Martini 4/19/2023 10:18 AMEvery morning while doing dishes, I view out over my back yard into a wetland full of beautiful vegetation and wildlife. I see many ugly pieces of trash sitting in it obscuring the natural beauty. Last week Saturday, I decided to go out into that wetland and clean it up! I collected cans, plastic jugs, plastic planters, empty plastic bottles, golf balls, and a good deal of paper. All in total, about 20 pounds of garbage was collected and removed from the wetland. Not trying to get anything except a better view of our neighborhood wetland!
