giving the frogs their home back

As a fisherman, I have a personal rule of filling one trashbag per trip. I find tons of fishing line and it drives me nuts. Too many times I have found some poorwildlife tangles and dead in it.

I’m a simple man. I see frog. I click

I did a trash clean up at the beach for a school project and it wasn't the nicest day out but the peace of mind that it gave me was surreal. I do one once a month at least now. 10/10 would recommend

please grab a couple of friends/youtubers and do this again! have a competition on who can collect the most bags of trash! can even be several groups of youtubers doing it around where they live. It would be cool and fun to watch someone like Ludwig getting hella competitive about it

I love that in Germany we pay a deposit of 0.25 for each bottle. You better believe that they get returned, or collected by those needing the money. At large fairs people make hundreds of Euros picking up the bottles left laying around.

We need WAY more content creators like Maya who make important educational content actually fun and cool

You're doing fantastic work Maya! What you're doing here is turning an abstract issue like pollution into a clear image of why it's so important to be better for our environment! I never knew that some animals can absorb toxins directly through their skins, and that drove home much more than anything else I've ever seen why we need to keep our waters clean.

Microplastics are a huge problem. I worked on research when I was in college that was about how microplastics were in our rivers and it was crazy how many there were but also how big and small they were. People need to get educated about types of plastics and how they impact the environment and also how to recycle them! Not all plastics are made equal and actually mixing some types of plastics makes them uneligible to be recycled due to the recycling process not being able to handle mixed streams. Stay sustainable everyone!

I despise people who litter. What's worse is that a lot of the times the stuff we put in our recycle bins ends up in the same place as regular trash. Really burns my britches.

the beach and hills in my area are completely clean. you have to go there by crossing a pedestrian-only bridge. my city invested in stands with paper trash bags and put huge dumpsters in there. everyone takes this bag when they are going there just because it's so convenient - it's easier to take your trash in a separate, handy bag, than try to take it yourself or remember to pack your own trash bag. it's such an easy way to take care of this gorgeous area, I wish it was more common, especially outside EU.

This isn’t related to the trash, but I carved pumpkins on my patio and the roaches have been hard at work helping to clean up the mess I made and I’m very thankful that you helped reframe their usefulness and reduced my overall fear 💜

Disgusting how people just throw trash in nature like this.

My friends and I did this when we were teens at a local park. There was so much trash in the creek that flowed through. It took a few weeks but at the end, there was no more trash, and everyone was so happy to see the park clean. The wildlife started moving back in, and as far as I know, the amount of trash in the park has been very minimal since, and its been 10 years. Sometimes all it takes is for people to see how nice a space can be, to want to keep it that way.

I basically did this a few months ago. Went on a walk in a local park and was so enraged by the litter everywhere that the next day I woke up at 6am and spent 3 hours litter picking and it was so satisfying

We need more people like her. Also i love frogs

i used to work for Parks and Rec and half of our job was just trash clean up from waterways, trails, or our parks. It was crazy the amount of cigeret buds and plastic bottles we would throw away. It was eye opening and very angering just in our small area how much trash effected wildlife in the area.

Would love an Alveus eco friendly water bottle!

fair play to you for getting out and clearing up. You should use your audience to get something organised! Well done champ.

I do agree that trash picking can be both fun, educational and completely essential if wanna sustain life on the planet. What u did in this video is what I do for a living in Sweden. Clean forests, nature parks and so on 5 days a week. So love to here someone els talk and explain why its needed so much for our future to exist.

My neighbor picks up trash every time she goes walking and inspired me to get my own setup to do the same. Also I love picking up any trash on the beach beforehand as a thank you to Mother Earth as well as supporting more fun in the sand later. Thanks for sharing!
