Come join me at the Mickenly Public Library for a Beach Clean up talk.

We will
1. Hear a little share about beach clean up experiences and why it is important to care the environment around us, bring an item you have at home and talk about its story.

2. We have a little table to have easy, middle and high level of questions connected to plastic pollutions/trash. If you answered it well. You may receive a free gift. (First try first get).
You will learn little more about sustainable lifestyle and action you can take.

3. We will organize/plan a bike trip to do a beach clean up on 08/29/2026, Saturday field trip.
Where and when we will meet, what to bring, and what are going to do with the materials we picked up, an art show host in the library on Sept?

In this clean up event we will:

1. Before we start, we will have a trash talk. For example, we will understand trashing the earth is a problem, and learn tips to reduce trash in your daily life.

2. As we picking it up, we can sort, we can store some materials to make art, we can take picture, share your awareness.

3. Lastly, after we bring the materials to recycling location. We will find a location do a earth breathing movements have a forest bath with tea you bring on your own, and we will debrief in pop corn style talk about what you pick up and what you left behind. For example, through doing more than 10 times trash pick up, I pick up kindness, gentle and left ignorance behind.
