Earth Day

For Earth Day, Shayla had asked if we could clean up the parking lot a block away from our house. We visit this empty parking lot often in the summer to ride bikes. Also there is a permanent puddle that has formed. In the puddle we collect tadpoles. So I agreed. Wednesday it had rained so we went on Thursday, April 24.
I used a very large trash bag and we filled it. The bottles and cans we found I left in a pile for the guy who comes around each week and collects them out of recycle bins. I was surprised to find that 3 cans still had beer in them. Even though we could have filled 2 more bags full I feel we made a little difference in making the Earth cleaner. Good idea Shay!
My mom was here so she helped out too.
