Today our group started out with an early morning trash cleanup. We got out to the beach and paired up to start collecting the plastic together. We learned methods of picking up trash that made our efforts much more effective and quick. After our beach cleanups, we then headed into the house for breakfast and packing time. During that time we all bonded with each other while cleaning our rooms. After lunch, we headed down to the Turtle Trax station with Juan to learn how to sort all of the trash we found. This process was tedious, but in the end we were all really proud of our efforts. We had a pretty quiet night after that, but we all were together because it is our last night staying in the same houses. Today helped me reflect on how waste, no matter where you live, could end up in the ocean and never decompose. It really opened my eyes to my own use of plastic and its impact on the environment.
