This document discusses a community clean up event being organized in Palm Coast to address the problem of increasing pollution. The event aims to have community members help pick up trash in heavily polluted areas. Participants will be divided into groups and assigned sections to clean. They will be provided with gloves and bags and there will be drivers for efficient trash disposal. Further details will be provided to recruited volunteers. The goal is to have a positive environmental impact through a little community effort.

1. Palm Coast
Clean Up
By Mackenzie Santiago

2. Pollution of all kinds has been an increasing problem
across the globe. This is something we hear all the
time. As people so engrossed in social media, one
might think the constantly updating environmental
campaigns would be having a greater effect on the
community.

3. As pre-packaged goods
and drive-through
restaurants become more
easily available, human
beings can not help being
more likely to add to the
pollution. This is not
because the are any more
or less environmentally
conscious than before, but
because there is simply
more waste to dispose of.

4. All foods prepared at home, bought at a store, or
picked up in a drive through become possible
pollutions when taken “to go.” Just as easily as a
sandwich is opened and consumed, the wrapper
is tossed out a window never to be considered
again.

5. You have the power to be a part of the solution. Every
wrapper properly disposed of is an act to benefit the
cause, and picking up pre-existing trash is an even greater
one. Say for every one piece of trash everyone threw
away, we picked up another off the ground? The
community would be noticeably cleaner in no time. All it
takes is a little effort.

6. To push the concept I have decided to plan a
community clean up event. My goals are not major, I just
wish to have a positive impact on our environment
instead of a negative one for a change.
In the next few weeks I will be recruiting people to help
me in picking up trash in heavily polluted areas of my
neighborhood.
We will be coming together in the parking lot which is no
longer in use, then grouping off to clean different
sections of Palm Coast. Based on how many people get
involved, there should be multiple groups about three to
four individuals.

7. Every group will select an area of particularly
polluted land and clean it. Exact times will be
decided on by the entire group.
All participants will be supplied with gloves and bags
to ensure sanitation and efficiency.
There will ideally be at least one driver for every
group.

8. More information will be given out at
invitation.
