Book 30, Question 138
How does a shoreline cleanup help a lake?
Litter on a beach can end up in the water, where it breaks into small bits or harms wildlife.
Volunteer cleanups gather trash and count what they find, which helps scientists see what kinds of litter are most common. Wear gloves and closed shoes, work with grown-ups, and never pick up sharp, wet, or unknown items. Bring a bag and a bucket.
