Here's how I packed todays 56 pounds of trash, 3 bags of litter(including 98 plastic bottles), a table, and a boat bumper on my kayak to paddle it out. Cleaned up 30 more yards of Pittsburgh's Ohio River shoreline. 770 bags removed from this river in the past 4+ years.

This is plastic bottle #10,000 collected in just the last 8 months. 8,788 of those were removed directly from our waterways. Our habits are entirely unsustainable🌎 #PlasticPollution

Pulled my 300th #Earthcleanup bag of Litter from Pittsburgh's Ohio River today(since mid-May). 4 bags & 130 more plastic bottles today. It's been a lot of hard work, both frustrating & fulfilling🌎 Thank you so much for all the amazing support along the way! 🤝❤

Today, I pulled my 400th Earthcleanup bag of Litter from Clearwater's Stevenson Creek. In May 2022, my mind was blown at the scenes I first encountered here. Two years later, and this is very likely the cleanest this creek has been in decades🌎

These photos were taken 1000 miles apart in a local river & creek. Our problems aren't just oceans away, they're right down the street. We(individuals & governments) aren't doing anywhere near enough to combat this crisis. Protecting our waterways should be a top priority🌎

My biggest takeaway after picking up 983 bags of #Litter... Our problems are way worse than I ever imagined. Your local creek or river is a total mess, guaranteed. And not nearly enough people care to actually change it

388 bags of Litter have been removed from Clearwater's Stevenson Creek since May 2022, and the difference is now noticeable. The creek is MUCH cleaner!🌎 It's often a 2 hour battle now just to fill up a bag... 1 Earthcleanup bag today + a metal cage yanked from the mangroves

Collected plastic bottle #9,000 today in less than 7 months time. Stop buying water in a single use bottle ffs😡...drink your water out of a Reusable container!🌎 2 Earthcleanup Litter bags as seen through a colorful wristband. Low tide on Clearwater's Stevenson creek reveals all

That's now 1000 bags of trash removed from two specific waterways(598 from Pittsburgh's Ohio River. 403 from Clearwater's Stevenson Creek) What I've learned? Our local waterways are trashed, & there is no slow in the flow of Litter. How do we wake up our citizens & governments?
