I grabbed one of the buckets they have out (which is an AWESOME idea) and thought I would pick up trash while shelling. Ended up picking up way more trash than shells (I'm picky). 2 buckets, mostly small and medium bits of hard plastic, probably from beach umbrella set-ups, and SOOOOOO many bottle caps. Water bottle caps, Gatorade caps, spray sunscreen caps, stick sunscreen caps, fireball shot caps, every kind of cap you can imagine. Also found some beer cans, a plastic army man, a wire frame and metal U-anchors, a pack of Zyns, a frisbee, and the sole of a shoe.

Does anyone know the companies these came from?

Unfortunately, like Crater Lake, a large section of the park was closed because of snow so I didn't get to explore as much as I wanted. I was a little peeved because before I entered the park I asked the ranger at the admission station if anything was closed so I didn't end up in the same situation and he said no. BETRAYAL 😭

Unfortunately a large part of the trail was closed off because they were redoing the road and I couldn't walk down to the dock because there was too much snow 😔

Not too much trash aside from around the parking lot, like usual. I got there at night and thought I saw shooting stars/a meteor shower but turns out they were satellites :( ruined the magic for me...

There were a lot of small pieces around the parking lot but I didn't find much on the one trail I walked other than tissues

He was asleep in there, snug as a bug in a rug.

Wednesday, August 19th, at 6:00pm during the DeFlock National Week of Action!

The National Week of Action Against ALPRs is from August 16-22. Thousands of people in cities across the country will participate in a variety of public meetings, townhalls, and other events intended to raise awareness about the use of ALPRs (automated license plate readers) in their communities, the harms of these cameras, and how we can work together to end their use.

Flock Safety, who operate AI cameras that conduct billions of automated scans a month across the country, are headquartered here in Atlanta, GA. A creative and dispersed movement has been growing to oppose the use of these cameras. During this National Week of Action we have a unique opportunity to participate and confront Flock where they're based.

This park had some of the most trash, I think because all of the wind would blow sand and trash with it. So over time, as the sand dunes move, more trash will be covered and more trash will be exposed. It was really cool how you could see the old ripples in what used to be the lake bed there

For those looking to organize in the North Fulton area, the ATL DSA is having an interest meeting and I've been told Flock and other surveillance cameras as well as data centers will be a point of discussion! Hope to see you there.

I found a $20 bill while I was cleaning so I consider that my salary from Mother Nature, lol. Most of the trash was paper products like receipts, park maps, and tissues, which is better than plastic I guess.

Part 2! I did this last summer, but thought you guys would appreciate it. Pro tip: The Narrows get very crowded, very fast

I did this last summer but wanted to post it here since I found this sub. I traveled to a bunch of parks and cleaned up everywhere I went. Please ignore my grunts lol

After a lot of feedback I went out and bought some stuff to make a little pond for my carnivores. I also added an air plant, resurrection plant, driftwood, a few lava rocks, and a solar powered fountain to it to make sure the water doesn't get stagnant. It's in the sun (I promise, it's just the angle of the shadows rn) and right where all the mosquitoes in my yard like to hang out. Is it good now?

This is in GA, hot and humid, and I have pitcher plants, a venus flytrap, and a butterwort.

This was in Reykjavik, Iceland
