According to Littering in Context, "Studies reveal that 85% of littering is driven by individual attitudes, heavily influenced by existing conditions. People are far more likely to litter in a park that already has accumulated trash or lacks a sense of community ownership."
Several NHS members picked up trash around school grounds and Wyman Park as part of our monthly service to the school and community.
Thank you, Kaylee Smith, Rhesa Isaacs, Daisy Richardson, and Will Miller!
