Hello everyone, my name is Rachel Thorpe and I am here to talk to you about my service learning project.
-
For my project I did Coastal Cleanup.
Coastal Cleanup is a volunteer program where you clean up beaches, parks, etc.
I cleaned up Safety Harbor's mangroves and it was fun!
-
Coastal Cleanup is a nationwide activity for picking up trash.
-
If you think about it you probably would not want to get up at 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning and pick up trash.
You would probably want to sleep in or watch cartoons.
-
But imagine this, walking through the park with no trash on the ground or enjoying the beach with no cigarettes in the sand.
-
Do you think that's even possible?
Well it is, if all of us help out.
-
Every year nationwide you can do Coastal Cleanup.
But you don't have to wait to make a difference. Each one of us can make things better by not littering and by picking up trash when we see it.

The lady I interviewed is Ms. Sherri Kennedy and she is the Recycling Coordinator for the city of Safety Harbor, FL.

I met her when I volunteered at Coastal Cleanup. I asked her some questions about Coastal Cleanup, and this is what I learned:
