Now that we have been going to Schmeekle for the past several weeks, we pretty much have the hang of everything. But it always surprises me how much litter we actually find. We go there every week and assume that we make some kind of impact, but once we go back there is always something to pick up. Since our first week out at Schmeekle, my view of it has changed a lot. I thought it was very cool to see how everything has changed from winter to spring. To be honest I thought that the reserve would be much cleaner than it actually was, but we, as well as other helpers, try our best. As I have mention before, the amount of litter is crazy in Schmeekle and there is obviously a lot more in public areas. To put it simply it is not that hard to throw something in a trash can, but I guess not everyone can grasp that concept and because of that, we have a ton of pollution in our environments.

After going to schmeekle today, I was surprised by all the litter too! I've only been there once before, but I never really took the effort to look around for litter. I'm glad your project involves picking up the litter, but it must be frustrating to see it all come back eventually. But I'm sure you are definately making an impact by atleast trying!
