First Three Days

First post!

Catching up on the first three days I did this project. On day 1, I had school, so I picked up trash in both the morning and afternoon. On days 2 and 3, I took one trip each day and picked up trash both there and back.

Here are my findings! (I keep track mentally and then estimate/look at the amounts of trash when I get to my destination)

Day 1 (Friday, 4/14):

morning:

-24 cigarettes

-2 packs of cigarettes (one full and the other crushed)

-1 washcloth

-3-5 drink cups (paper and plastic)

-15-20 small pieces of plastic

-5-10 small-medium bits of paper

-5 large pieces of sharp plastic

-3 small pieces of styrofoam

-5 plastic bags

-4-5 pieces of/full takeout boxes

-2 glass bottles

-3 plastic bottles

-2 cans

-7 candy wrappers

-3 chip bags

                                                            -3 packaged sauce containers

Today, the most interesting thing I found was a full pack of cigarettes. I am very surprised at how many cigarettes I found overall, because I not only found a full pack, but also a used pack. I found an unbelievable amount of trash today.
