Signing Off on our project (earth Avengers)

In conclusion our team did give its final presentation to the class, which covered e-waste, recycling, how waste is disposed, how waste is reinvented into coal in Kenya and finally our EEACAP project. The whole experience was an exciting one, from volunteering at Blue Marsh to our earth day presentation, basically given an insight to our course mates and the whole student and faculty body on all the activities we had engaged in from picking litter and trail hiking. During our litter task, we got see the different waste left on the roadside, from bottles, plastic  caps, plastic bags, cigarettes and even dead birds and snakes. Are people deliberately dropping these items or just not caring? Are the birds dying from choking or swallowing these bottle caps and other foreign objects? The trail yoga gave as the opportunity to see nature, from the woods, lakes and also eagles. This project gave my teammates and I the opportunity to be able to learn about the importance of recycling, the harm of plastic products loitering around and also the harm it causes to animals and the environment

first meeting

our first meeting at blue marsh lake was quite brief,which lasted for thirty minutes but was informative. We met with officials that we were going to be working with till our project was complete and I must say it was a delight. We were also given souvenirs and also given an oral tour about the place and what they did. We would be going back there on April 18th and 19th to be complete our 8 hours.

This visit was basically getting to know the organization we will be working with and picking the times we will begin. The first day we will volunteer at Blue Marsh is on April 18, 2015 for the “Take Pride in Blue Marsh Volunteer Clean Up Day.” And we are all looking forward to it!
