Express fest work day 13

 Today we used our time to take a trip to staples. We got a massive poster board along with markers, crayons, stickers, and construction paper. We also printed out more flyers and pictures of other fellow urfers we talked with so we could put them on the board. We worked on the poster for a couple hours, we used our art skills, talked about our interviews, and put some of our flyers on it as well. We also took time to put all of our Instagram stories and reels together @trashnomopew

Reflection week 1

      This week has been a massive learning experience for sure! We have had our ups and downs and navigated each of our days to make the most out of them. We went into this project thinking we were going to pick up trash every single day but we started to incorporate talking to small businesses as well which was a great addition. Each of us contribute to the project in positive ways, Caroline has helped a lot with the formatting of flyers, Catherine has provided us her home and shown us all of the spots we have traveled to, and I have helped by providing the drip grabbers buckets and gloves we use.       We started our trash pick up journey at Lowe’s where we stocked up on equipment. This was a fun day, and we also decided our first stop for project period. Kezar Lake was the first trash pick up site we did. It was a windy day and the sun was out, all three of us were excited to get to work. This was a small lake with a lot of camping ground and we found it shocking that there was not

Rail trail

 Today my mom our mentor came up to Catherine’s which was good because we have been talking over FaceTime. We went to proctor because we had a lacrosse game but we traveled up earlier than we needed to. Because we had time to kill we decided to go to the rail trail and show our mentor what we do in real life time. She was impressed with how much we have learned and was happy to see us scavenging for trash on the rail trail. My mom was interested in the store boneafide. We went there with her after she left catherine’s house and picked up some lunch containers and reusable rags! We said goodbye to our mentor, she was very pleased with our work. Our team is very excited to start interviewing more sustainable company managers

Bradley Lake cleanup and Flyers Day 11

 Today our team was very lucky to have gotten the opportunity to spend it at Bradley Lake thanks to Mindy Bicknell. After talking to Mindy about my senior project, she very nicely offered for our group to go to her lake house on Bradley at some point, so we decided to take her up on that! We did not find a lot of trash at Bradley, we stopped a few times on the side of the road and also down at the “Main beach” but it was a close it community and was very clean. Although we didn’t find success, it was still a great thing to see. We thought it was going to be a different outcome at Bradley lake because it was a super windy day. After talking to Ron at the summit of Mt Kearsarge, we realized that wind should be accounted for in any environment especially on a body of water! We ended up going to Elbow to see if we could find anything but again no success. We made our way over to Concord and hung up pour flyers on composting, recycling, and sustainable living anywhere we could along Concord
