Very cool! But I'm surprised that so many people passed the plastic bottle and didn't pick it up!

We hope to have the students at our school monitor the garbage situation next year. We need to train our young to be very serious about managing garbage.

Shocking that so many people walked on by oblivious... wish more people would recycle!
