Call sign: Canal cleanup fieldtrip

This one here is hosted by Ms. Sehnila and most of my math AI HL class will be joining. It sounds simple enough and I don't see any need to take any serious preparation measures. Basically, we just sit on a boat and pick up trash at each trash traps.

Experience

The first thing that I am surprise about is how heavy the trashes are. It is managable but will take an extra efford even for me. I was alse refreshing to see that most of the canal isn't really that polluted. Maybe it was thanks to the cleaning company that hosted the activity. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to do the mobile clean up and ended up only scooping up trash at an outpost. After the clean up, we also learned about recycleable trash such as different kind of plastics and get to do an engaging activities about the knowledge that we've obtained. We also have to isolate and organize the trash pile that we've collected and sort out the usable one. The smell wasn't pleasant but I totally felt accomplish by doing these activities within this fieldtrip.
