What happens to litter that ends up near or in our storm drains? Without needing to pick up litter, students can make observations and ask questions while exploring litter in and around the nearest storm drain.
The litter audit is an opportunity for students to investigate and see first-hand the types of litter, if any, they find in their neighborhood. After the audit is complete, students can share their findings and use data to draw conclusions about common types of litter, where it comes from and what actions can be taken to prevent litter in the first place!
How do you use your voice to say no to plastic bags at the grocery store? Students can color this scene as they reflect on how they can reduce single-use plastic by bringing their own reusable bag.
What does it look like to clean up litter in our communities? How can we prevent litter in the first place? Students can color this scene as they reflect on these questions.
