160 Gallons of Garbage.... GONE!

This summer I made it my mission to clean up as much litter from our beach as each day allowed. Armed with a 5-gallon orange bucket, my trusty garbage grabber, and a strong sense of purpose I got to work. This started as a little passion project, but as the days went on, I noticed it became a talking point. More and more people would thank me as I walked by and snatched up a piece of litter. By August, we asked the Greenwich Point Pollution Patrollers to help us out. With their enthusiasm they joined me in the quest to create a better environment for us to share with the local wildlife. 

In total we were able to alleviate the shore of 32 five-gallon buckets of rubbish! That’s around 160 gallons of trash we got out of the water and disposed into proper bins. Thank you to all who helped.
