Summit Lake Cleanup #3:
This was the third cleanup that I hosted for the Green Girl Gang. We have one more happening at Summit Lake, until the next location is chosen. It has been a super successful and rewarding event. We had many folks thanking us for our hard work. We are making such a huge impact on the lake, but it still needs so much more work, and help. The amount of bottles and little floating around the lake is unreal. It’s always going to be a constant problem in this location, due to the way the lake sits. It’s called Summit Lake, because it is the highest point. The canal dumps into the lake, and it flows both north and south because of this high point. Casein-point, if you are familiar with how the watershed works, it explains the heavy influx of trash within this beautiful watersoruce. It will be a constant issue that will always need to be addressed here. The more people that we can inspire to help keep our parks clean, the better off the environment will be. Sunday, September 30th, will be our last cleanup at Summit Lake for the time being. We plan to target different locations, and help keep our Planet beautiful. 💚🗑🛶♻️
Summit Lake Cleanup #4 (The final cleanup for the season):
This was probably the best cleanup out of the 4 cleanups. It was such a successfully rewarding experience. I am forever thankful to everyone that came out. I am so privileged to be a part of the Green Girl Gang, and to represent them at their Akron ambassador. It meant a lot to me to see some of the same faces, and some new ones. We acquired 15 bags of trash and 2 bicycles. It was a record amount of trash on this cleanup. There is still an incredible amount of trash floating around Summit Lake, so we may sneak in one more cleanup for good measure before the weather gets too terribly bad. Again, I couldn’t have done any of this without my wonderful volunteers. My heart is so full, and I am beyond thankful. We did our part to help keep Akron beautiful, have you?
The Summit Lake Park Cleanup #2:
This was my second time hosting a cleanup for the Green Girl Gang at Summit Lake Park in Akron, Ohio. It was such a successful day. We tackled another section of the lake closer to the boardwalk. There’s still so much more litter floating around in the lake. It’s nice to see process on each cleanup we conduct. We were showered with many thanks from passerby’s along the towpath. It was most rewarding when folks actually stopped to ask when the next cleanup was going to take place, so they too, could participate. I am incredibly thankful for everyone who participated in this cleanup. The next cleanup will take place on Sunday, the 16th, and again on Sunday, the 30th. Please join the Green Girl Gang, and help make a difference, and to keep Akron beautiful.
Park Cleanup!
There are a lot of small, local waterways in this area. Creeks feed into streams, streams into rivers, rivers into the sea, like a vast circulatory system. All of the trash that ends up in parks and little groves around these creeks doesn’t just stay locally, it eventually moves along, causing more damage as it goes. That’s why it’s so important not to litter in the first place. But, since people…
Today in weird things that got me to go for a walk: I brought a grocery bag and gloves and picked up garbage until it was full. It was weirdly satisfying, 10/10 would do again
Helped my friends clean the flushing Bay promenade.
You know what's fun and free?!
Step 1. Gather up your friends! (Or go alone!)
Step 2. Get some heavy duty trash bags, gloves, and closed-toed shoes!
Step 3. Go to your local park!
Step 4. Pick up trash!
I did this with one of my friends today and it was so fun! Neither of us are in shape at all and we still enjoyed it! We picked up so much garbage and had a great time while helping the environment. If you're tired of hanging out with your friends but not really doing anything, now is a great time to go outside and enjoy time together. It's also free and helps ylthe environment!
