This fourth of July I went to Alabama to visit my grandparents and cousins. We had an amazing time on the Coosa River on the boats and shooting off fireworks. But what did we do with all of the waste that we created from the festivities?
During the barbeque we used a lot of plastic containers and they do not have an established recycling program where we were, so we gathered up a few trash bags and brought all of the recycling back to Fort Myers to make sure our landfills did not suffer from our plastic and metal wastes.
All of the fireworks that we shot off during the occasions we made sure did not make there way into the river. The Coosa River is not the most pure river in the world, and we made sure to pick up all of the paper wrappers and dispose of them properly.
The Coosa River and Alabama are so pretty to me and I would hate to see them go to waste. The scenery is pristine and natural. So I feel we helped with a little fraction of the conservation of the environment and I hope others did too on the Fourth of July.
