River Clean Up Service Project

On Saturday, me and some fellow classmates traveled to the Calabazas creek in San Jose to participate in the annual river clean up. We were given two bags, one for recyclables and one for trash. However, the creek had a rarity of recyclable bottles and cans but was extremely abundant in trash. The most notable of this trash was food items such as chip bags, and plastic bags too. What I also found from the creek were multiple baseballs, which makes sense since the creek is right next to the Westmont High School baseball field. Afterwards, we dumped all the garbage bags onto one of the supervisor's truck, and then had popsicles and water after. Overall, it was a great experience to help the community and environment, especially for today when the environment is overlooked and undervalued.
