5th Grade students at Barrett Elementary School are creating a legacy of citizen involvement to keep litter out of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Their project, “Littering in Arlington, VA” aimed to inspire change at a local community level by clearing a local stream of litter. They achieved this by organizing and participating on a walking field trip where they picked up nearly 28 full bags of trash along the stream. The students plan to organize future clean ups, extending the impact and reach of this project over the coming years.
