I hope to coordinate a trash collection initiative to clean up the Boston area and its green spaces. I've noticed a fair amount of waste in parks, sidewalks, waterways, and city streets throughout the community. It's disheartening to see this garbage marring the city and I would love to combat this issue. In my social circles I know a lot of environmentally motivated people. I have a leadership role in the Botanical Society and am friends with the leaders of many other sustainability/environmentally focused student organizations. In all, these groups have at least 100 regular members who I am certain would love to help out with this initiative. Once per week I hope to take crews of volunteers to sites needing trash collection. Coordinating with local authorities and from observation, these sites could be determined based on scale of garbage presence. I'm really excited about the prospect of cleaning up the city and advancing sustainability. Through this project I hope to foster a wider community of environmentally motivated students that transcends smaller groups/clubs to reach this common goal.
