The Problem

Southern California is covered with litter! When students come to our camp, most are aware that litter exists where they live, but have no idea what to do about it. Our camp wants to become a training ground so students can discover alternatives to landfill and challenge them to take the lead in litter pick-ups both at camp and in their own communities.

Our Plan

We are picking up litter at outdoor education camp while learning about what can be recycled and composted. When we leave camp, we'll return to our homes and schools with the tools and resources we need to pick up and sort litter in our own communities.
