Actions We Took
The whole group took action by doing a beach cleanup called "Beach Bash" on Pelican Beach with a company called Keep Brevard Beautiful to keep our land healthy and clean from trash.
Hannah, Milana, and Bricen took action by making bags that contained information about SDG 15 including a manual about how to plant a tree and a pomegranate seed and passed them out. Hannah went to a weekly farmer's market in Satellite Beach, and Bricen and Milana went to the Avenues in Viera.
Grant volunteered at Lithia Springs state park in Hillsborough County to help clean trash from their parks and campsites.
Lilly volunteered for the Forest Funday at the Enchanted Forest Sanctuary and set up a booth with a game and information about SDG 15.
