YATZ Making a Difference

On the second day of camp YATZ, had the opportunity to pick up rubbish along the barrier of the zoo, our aim was to pick up rubbish and take note of overhanging trees along the barrier and take a photo of it. Even though it was a hot day we were all happy to put up with the heat to help the environment and make a difference. We were split up into two groups, and both groups went opposite directions to meet up again and to swap sides and check each other’s work. As we were walking along the fence line and was was amazed to see how much rubbish we found along the fence line. By the time we met up with the other group we had two bags full of rubbish and was surprised to see that the other group had only half a bag full of rubbish. At the end of this activity, I was happy with how much our group picked up and enjoyed doing this activity.
