We learned about the damage being done to our planet by pollution, and we decided that we needed to make our mark at our local beaches, where there is much pollution and trash to be found. Our goal was to clean some of the pollution that is destructive towards our home. We hoped to serve our community by keeping our part of the planet clean and healthy. We also hope that we can inspire others to take action in their locations. We hope these beach clean-ups will inspire others in our community not to litter, and pick up trash that they come across outside.

2018-19 Beach Trash Data Collection
2018-19 Beach Trash Data Collection
The goal was to create a system for classes throughout MVRHS to collect and analyze the trash from different beaches across the island.
Trash data would be tallied, and the data would be uploaded onto a centralized website.
The data could then help the island and the students come up with a solution of beach polluting.
Explored tally sheets available and came up with some ideas of how to format one for local use
Looked at ways to store data online
