REFLECTION QUESTION
Health & Equity

What 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?

My husband and I walk in the morning and find ourselves tidying up the park after the neighborhood kids have had a night out. We find lots of crazy things. This morning's crazy item was 1/2 of a plastic chair.

Pollinators make the world go around, literally! I have respect for all pollinators, although I'm allergic to bees! (If you've never been to Disney's Animal Kingdom and watched the It's Tough to be a Bug show, get there!)
