The Problem

The shoreline of Lake Cayuga is full of litter. Since its a popular tourist spot, visitors throw trash and litter the place , most of which gets into the water, polluting it and endangering marine life.

Our Plan

The actions we are planning are: (1) conduct a webinar engaging community youth to raise awareness about this issue (2) Organise a shoreline cleanup, document the types of trash and engage visitors to stop littering The project will engage diverse racial groups to make it an inclusive activity that protects the environment
