Category Archives: The Eco Warriors

Hi everyone! Throughout this quarantine, my group, the EcoWarriors have been hard at work researching solid waste issues and littering. We completed our presentation and discussed some of the most important causes, problems, and solutions regarding littering. In our presentation, we also explained some of the legal consequences that can result if you are caught littering, as well as a recent new story about a study done on Pennsylvania roadways about the most common types of litter. If anyone is interested in looking at, or listening to our project, it is listed under the “EACAP Presentations” module on Canvas and named “Faith, Jacob, Matt.” Like many of the other teams, we are working to turn our research into essay format. We are looking forward to getting all of our research together and submitting our final EACAP component!! Stay safe everyone!

After meeting with our organization and completing our action plan, we began the first part of our service aspect this week. Jacob created our EACAP Poster which was requested by Mr. Folwell. He plans to post this sign along the section of the trail that we are cleaning up in March. This will help to notify people using the trail that Penn State students (specifically our Eco Warriors team) are taking care of that section. We also began to pick a few dates in March that we are available to clean up the trail. Once Mr. Folwell approves a date and a rain date, we can begin to plan for the action portion of our project. We are really looking forward to getting started!
