SUP Garbage Man

I’ve missed sunrise paddles…especially the cloudy ones! 😊

Think your waterway is clean? I assure you there is trash somewhere…

Notable finds:
- Reignited drive to get back on the water …

I’ve been derelict in my SUP Garbage Man duties so long, that I forgot my GoPro this session … 🤦‍♂️ (but not my trash pickers! 🥳)

Think your waterway is clean? Take a peek near the grasses from time to time. 😔

Notable finds:

A little bit here, a little bit there… it all adds up!

I haven’t been finding the massive, shocking piles of river trash in the Orlando area…so I’ve looked elsewhere.

Notable finds:
• Styrofoam cup
• Plastic bottle
• A couple of toy trucks

It’s a good thing for the water here, but it’s got me thinking a lot about where the big stuff is actually ending up.

Notable finds:
• Yellow plastic bag
• Plastic bottle
• Aluminum can

Every piece removed is a win for the river. But lately, these smaller hauls just remind me of the sheer volume of stuff we consume daily. Taking care of the water is step one, but we have to start looking upstream at the bigger picture.
