We are grateful to the 30 volunteers from Capgemini who joined SCWF staff for a litter sweep at Harbison in Irmo, SC on Thursday, October 12th. There are so many areas of our state that could benefit from a litter sweep, and you probably pass by many in your daily life without even realizing it. As Ari Hippensteal, our Community Outreach Manager, commented “This is an area I often go through but never really took the time to see how much litter had accumulated here, once you focus on an area you can really improve it, and once we started going we really made a huge difference to the space.

This was the second litter sweep that Capgemini has done with us! This project was also in partnership with the South Carolina Aquarium. The litter that was removed was recorded on SCWF’s page on the SC Aquarium’s “Litter Free Digital Journal” program. Check out the links below to see the impact of this litter sweep. Much of the litter we picked up would have made its way into our local streams and rivers and would eventually end up in the ocean. Thank you to everyone for making our state a safer and cleaner place for wildlife and people!
