In 2015, the Schuylkill River Trail was voted best urban trail within the US because of the volunteers that come in and adopt the trail and help maintain it for the community. However, there is a lot of evidence of human waste that includes, water bottles, paper waste, and other human accessories. Things like bottles can take decades to degrade back into the Earth and can cause lots of harm to wildlife and even humans if these waste seeps into the water supply of thousands of people within the community. It is our responsibility to take action and keep places like this trail safe and open for public entertainment and safety.
