Pond Clean Ups and Why They Are Important
I recently cleaned up trash from two ponds (well what I saw on the surface) and I have to admit I was horrified by what I found. The first pond which I nicknamed the “duck pond” was filled with tons of beer cans and plastic bottles that are recyclable. The second pond I dubbed as the “turtle pond” contained tobacco cans and nerf darts floating all around the sides (I’m just assuming some crazy kids thought it was cute to chew spit and have a nerf gun fight at the same time). However, it’s not cute when people dump their random items they see as trash into the ponds because they’re not the ones having to deal with the aftermath, the turtles and ducks are. As well, there is other life such as fish that call the ponds home and do not deserve to be dumped on. The next time before you or anyone decides to dump trash into local ponds or water ways, please stop and think about the lives you could be affecting. Let’s work together and help keep local ponds clean for the permanent and temporary residents during the year. #codegreen
