The Power of Unity and Purpose: Organized Cleanups vs Solo Efforts
In August 2023 I participated as a volunteer in my first organized cleanup event, on the bank and surrounding trails of the Schuylkill river, in Phoenixville, PA. Organized by Save the Schuylkill and Litter Lifters of West Vincent, this landmark event attracted 115 people, and resulted in more than 20 cubic yards of trash and 80 tires being removed from the river and surrounding areas.
