I love working with others on litter sweeps, whether I am leading them or participating with them, or even doing a solo sweep as a part of my volunteer work with our local Keep America Beautiful affiliate. As a volunteer with the South Carolina Aquarium, I take part in litter sweeps with data collection, using our citizen science tool, the Litter Journal. This data has been used with great success in many municipalities along our coast and in the upstate, to achieve ordinances and improved actions to mitigate pollution, especially plastic pollution, across our state.
