Join a Clean-Up Hike!
What is a clean-up hike? Well, it’s a group outing to keep our parks & forests free from litter. Hikers gather at the start of the trail with a bag & trash stick, stopping to pick up any trash they see along the way.

As the weather gets warmer, you're going to want to ice cream. I mean, who doesn't?
When you go down to McCools or any fav ice cream shop, pick a cone if you can to minimize waste! No need to get a spoon and non-recyclable cup when you can just eat your ice cream container!
