Many people neglect to use the trashcans while drinking and eating. This creates a monster cleanup needed for the next day. Since I was so interested in the mess that would be there the next day, I started a bit earlier than the others and woke up around 8 a.m. to see what remnants of trash remained. I started at the field near O-house. Here, I saw beer cans, coke cans, pringles trash, and much more. I was in awe. I started to pick up here with a trash bag. After I did this, I went to other locations: frat houses, parking lots, and so on. Here, I saw similar things. There was trash everywhere. I continued to pick up until the trash bags I brought were full. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This whole\nexperience made me feel very frustrated and angry. How hard is it to throw away\nyour own trash in a trash can? If everyone threw away their own trash, which\nshould not even have to be asked, there would be no mess to clean up or\npotential dangers made for animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This experience was helpful to see how much trash really remains after tailgates. I am now a lot more passionate about keeping the environment clean because seeing all of the cans and other trash truly hurt my heart. I am not one to clean often, so I was probably not as diligent as I could\u2019ve been; however, I am now way more interested keeping the earth clean and doing clean-ups after events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will not ever litter again, especially in a place that is my new home. I am going to make sure the people I am with also throw their trash away, and if I see anyone fooling around and making a mess without cleaning it up, I will be sure to call them out. By doing this, I hope others will realize in the future how important it is to keep your environment clean. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my service outreach project, I was part of the tailgate clean up group.
