Be a Part of the 1,000,000 Pieces of Trash Project
Eagle Scout John-Aaron has a goal of picking up one million pieces of trash. You can help him out! When you go outside next, bring a bag and pick some trash up. Then record it on his sheet at the link below. Pollution and ecological health is a continuing challenge facing mankind. We have a unique opportunity to improve this. While large meetings are eschewed, while many people are idle because of school or business closures, we all have the ability to make a difference. Let’s get out and clean our neighborhoods, our parks, and our wilderness areas! Visit his webpage for more info.
