Hello All!
The results of the Fall 2012 Clean Ocean Action Beach Sweep on Poplar Ave in Wildwood NJ is in!
Together, approximately 105 volunteers collected 49 bags of trash, as well as a broken trash can, tarp, and chunks of wood.
Out of 92 categories of trash, 87 different types of trash were found. The top 5 are:
302 straws. 264 plastic pieces. 243 Food/candy wrappers or bags. 235 glass pieces, and 234 caps and lids. In 6th place, following closely, were the 204 beverage/soda bottles found.
We had a sunny and warm fall day, and the team captains were so thankful and excited to see so many volunteers coming out, from the smallest kid to the oldest adult!
Way to make a difference, even if it seems small, it is a difference indeed!
A big thanks to high school students and teachers from Wildwood High school, including peer leaders and ROOTs members, to Cape May Technical High school kids, Wildwood Catholic kids, Girl Scout troops, and everyone else who came out!
Here are some pictures from the day:
