KissenaParkCleanup

4/23/23

At the event we had to clean up all the soggy trash which was fun only because the people in charge were so salty with us and we were all joking around as we cleaned up So the most memorable thing was when Benjamin Huang took the cardboard boxes that a guy in charge threw on the ground after handing out gloves (it was a single glove per person ) Benjamin took the box and said " can I just take this and use it as my first garbage?" I told him maybe he should put it down and just pick the stuff up from the other part of the grass And then one of the people in charge saw it and came to our group and started talking to us solemnly how he doesn't care that we are Bronx Science, we better not do anything to harm each other, others, or do anything s to harm each other, others, or do anything stupid. And the most annoying part was when he only told that to us, and not to any other group. And then after that he continued to target us to all the bad things that were happening like the one glove instead of two He was like oh we didn't expect so many of " you guys " to come like dude you had a whole spreadsheet what do you mean " you didn't expect " Anyway, that was memorable because our whole group was so confused with why they were so mad at us But when we were cleaning, we found this huge pile of noodles on the floor and threw them in our bags In all, I would recommend this event it the people in charge were a bit nicer to us :D

At the Kissenna Park Cleanup, numerous students showed up along with a vast variety of schools We were split into groups consisting of about a dozen people Although there was not any large trash pieces, we picked up cigarette buns and bottle caps from around the park. Those items did not have much volume to them however everyone filled up their trash bags a decent amount. They claimed to give 50 dollars to the club that picked up the most trash. It was uplifting to see a huge crowd eagerly cleaning up the environment, ridding it of litter.
