Vermont/Beverly Clean Up Pictures

Sorry for the long delay in posting pictures of our clean up, but I wanted to make sure to thank everybody who came out for our Vermont/Beverly clean up!

Pictures of the event below:

Our morning clean up team at the Vermont/Beverly subway stop. It was an especially hot day, but we managed to do a good amount of cleaning!

At this point, I think people just wanted to get out of the sun....thanks to everybody who came out!
Some of the trash bags that we filled up around the intersection!

Where does all that trash go?

You may have always wondered...sure, I see those signs "drains to the ocean." Where does it go when it drains to the ocean though? Well, there is a "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," a huge region in the middle of the Pacific Ocean where all of the trash eventually ends up due to a combination of winds and tides. You can read more about it here.

Also, if you want to see a documentary that was aired on Good Morning America you can watch below. Remember, be careful with your trash!
