Feeling Golden

In this podcast, I, Marisa, am joined by fellow Girl Scout, Kassidy. We talk about my Gold Project. My project was to organize a Creek Cleanup and educate members of the public and Girl Scouts about the importance of keeping our environment clean with a series of presentations. I led 25 volunteers in cleaning a creek in a disadvantaged neighborhood. I took pictures of the creek before and after the cleanup. We made a big difference in the creek and land surrounding the creek. We picked up 64 bags of trash and recycling and many pounds of miscellaneous trash like tires, lawn chairs, rugs, buckets, toys, a bike, etc.
