On March 7, AYLUS volunteers teamed up with Keep Pearland Beautiful to clean and pick up trash at Centennial Park and the Mary’s Creek waterway that runs through all of Pearland. On the beautiful Saturday morning, volunteers arrived at 7:30 AM and worked until 10:00 AM. They first had a lesson on the effects of pollution in our waterways and then split into teams along with other volunteers to pick up the trash. They filled multiple trash bags with items such as plastic trash, bottles, and cans, take out containers and other styrofoam containers, and even a tire. Ultimately, with equipment provided by KPB, members felt very proud knowing they had done a great service cleaning the environment of their city.
