When I first walked up, I was confused why I&#8217;d been asked to work in that space&#8211;it looked like it was normal forest floor. However, then I noticed that under the layer of vines on the surface, there was about foot deep pile of trash. So I would dig around the vines, pulling out mostly bottles but everything from diapers to bags to a whole chair. I did get stung by a bee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the most shocking thing was that if I drove by this area, I would not have considered it &#8220;dirty&#8221;. I wouldn&#8217;t have even noticed the trash. Often, we look on the surface to decide, but this really made me realized litter is a huge problem everywhere. Moving forward, I would definitely get involved with a cleanup in the future. In addition, it would definitely help to pick up when I see items so they don&#8217;t get buried as much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I worked this past weekend at the Rivers Alive cleanup at the Derby and Branch street locations.
