Collecting data and turning it into solutions! 📊🙌

Last Saturday we took part in Florida Climate Week presented by VoLo Foundation

Volunteers gathered together to TrashBlitz Eagle Nest Park and collected 155 pounds of litter!

Take a look at the top items that were found and check out the solutions below. Each one of us can make a difference for Florida and our home here in Orlando 💚

🔍 1. Bottle caps 2. Bottles: Remember to bring your own water bottle and use refill stations.

🍫 3. Food Wrappers: Choose snacks like fruit that don’t come wrapped in plastic or plan a picnic using reusable containers from home.

🥤 4. Cups: Bringing a reusable water bottle is a great solution or you can opt for a drink in a can. Remember to recycle it afterwards!

🛍️ 5. Bags: Bring your own bag with you to the store, or if you are only buying a couple of items carry the items without the bag.

Let’s rethink our waste for a cleaner and greener Florida! 🌎

☔️ Rain rain please don’t go away!

47 Residents are now using rain barrels to collect and store rain water for their gardens! 🌱

On Monday our Water Reclamation, Streets and Stormwater departments taught our community about lakes, storm drains, and the importance of conserving water. Then they assembled their own rain barrels to take home💧
