(SINGING) Hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey.

3
00:00:05.133 --> 00:00:09.933
Usually, when I get off of
work, or when it's the weekend,

4
00:00:09.933 --> 00:00:14.043
and I want to spend some time
outside, I walk from my house

5
00:00:14.043 --> 00:00:17.643
down to a park that's
close by, or just walking

6
00:00:17.643 --> 00:00:19.803
kind of aimlessly
honestly sometimes.

7
00:00:19.803 --> 00:00:23.973
And when I do, I normally
like to bring my trash grabber

8
00:00:23.973 --> 00:00:28.243
and a bag just in case I come
across any trash on the ground.

9
00:00:28.243 --> 00:00:30.663
Of course, here I am
today in Baltimore,

10
00:00:30.663 --> 00:00:33.063
and there is some
trash that I've just

11
00:00:33.063 --> 00:00:34.563
come across right here.

12
00:00:34.563 --> 00:00:37.413
So now I'm going to use
the Marine Debris Tracker

13
00:00:37.413 --> 00:00:40.863
app, so that we can keep
track of the kinds of trash

14
00:00:40.863 --> 00:00:41.673
that we're seeing.

15
00:00:41.673 --> 00:00:44.553
As I come across some trash,
I normally just take out

16
00:00:44.553 --> 00:00:48.393
my phone, and I go to the
Marine Debris Tracker app.

17
00:00:48.393 --> 00:00:52.233
I make sure I take a photo, and
then I go to the category that

18
00:00:52.233 --> 00:00:54.063
says Paper, Paper Bags .

19
00:00:54.063 --> 00:00:58.383
I add, and then I
pick up the paper bag,

20
00:00:58.383 --> 00:01:01.053
put it inside my reusable
bag, and keep it moving.

(SINGING) Hey.

23
00:01:03.915 --> 00:01:05.353
Ooh, ooh.

24
00:01:05.353 --> 00:01:06.903
So I just want to
give you a chance

25
00:01:06.903 --> 00:01:09.813
to see the app that
I'm using, so that we

26
00:01:09.813 --> 00:01:13.323
can track the trash that
I'm finding as I'm walking.

27
00:01:13.323 --> 00:01:16.533
So I'm using the Marine
Debris Tracker app.

28
00:01:16.533 --> 00:01:18.523
This is what it looks like.

29
00:01:18.523 --> 00:01:23.073
So we have Plastic, Medals,
Glass, Cloth even, Paper,

30
00:01:23.073 --> 00:01:24.043
and Lumber.

31
00:01:24.043 --> 00:01:26.373
There's even such
things as Fishing Gear.

32
00:01:26.373 --> 00:01:28.683
You can choose one
of the categories

33
00:01:28.683 --> 00:01:31.323
if you wanted to just
automatically jump to it,

34
00:01:31.323 --> 00:01:34.653
or you can scroll the
screen so that you can

35
00:01:34.653 --> 00:01:37.623
choose the category yourself.

36
00:01:37.623 --> 00:01:39.003
One thing that's
also really cool

37
00:01:39.003 --> 00:01:41.373
is that under each
category, there

38
00:01:41.373 --> 00:01:44.313
are kind of like these sub
categories under the sections.

39
00:01:44.313 --> 00:01:49.473
So under Metal, there's aluminum
or tin cans, aerosol cans,

40
00:01:49.473 --> 00:01:52.408
metal or bottle caps,
metal fragments.

41
00:01:52.408 --> 00:01:54.033
And you see that
there's a spot for you

42
00:01:54.033 --> 00:01:59.083
to increase the number of those
type of trash that you find,

43
00:01:59.083 --> 00:02:00.983
and then a place
for you to hit Add

44
00:02:00.983 --> 00:02:02.793
when you're ready to submit it.

45
00:02:02.793 --> 00:02:05.010
And so for the ones
that I've collected,

46
00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:07.593
and if you want to see the ones
that you might have collected,

47
00:02:07.593 --> 00:02:09.993
you can go to Items
Collected at the top.

48
00:02:09.993 --> 00:02:14.043
It says that I have 11 items
that I have logged so far.

49
00:02:14.043 --> 00:02:16.243
So you just hit this arrow.

50
00:02:16.243 --> 00:02:18.243
And once you hit
the arrows, you'll

51
00:02:18.243 --> 00:02:21.543
see a map pops up with
all of the locations

52
00:02:21.543 --> 00:02:23.643
where you have logged an item.

53
00:02:23.643 --> 00:02:24.753
They get a pin.

54
00:02:24.753 --> 00:02:26.703
So each of these 11
pins are the ones

55
00:02:26.703 --> 00:02:28.773
that I've collected
so far this morning.

56
00:02:28.773 --> 00:02:32.253
There is seven photos
that I've logged.

57
00:02:32.253 --> 00:02:36.543
There are two aluminum or tin
cans, one beverage bottle,

58
00:02:36.543 --> 00:02:40.573
one plastic bag, two
metal bottle caps.

59
00:02:40.573 --> 00:02:43.953
And then when I'm ready,
you just hit Submit here.

60
00:02:43.953 --> 00:02:46.983
And then it will go ahead
and complete my trash trip

61
00:02:46.983 --> 00:02:47.613
for the day.

[MUSIC - BLEU, "BREEZEWAY"]

63
00:02:53.933 --> 00:02:56.483
So it looks like we're getting
close to the water, which

64
00:02:56.483 --> 00:03:00.563
means we're about to
finish our trash trip.

65
00:03:00.563 --> 00:03:05.813
And I can notice from
here just some small items

66
00:03:05.813 --> 00:03:10.153
of trash on the sidewalk
and even some in the water.

67
00:03:10.153 --> 00:03:13.103
And so like honestly, right
here in front of me, right?

68
00:03:13.103 --> 00:03:14.573
It's like a wet wipe.

69
00:03:14.573 --> 00:03:18.833
So we can log this of
course in our app--

70
00:03:18.833 --> 00:03:20.333
take this trash
up like we've been

71
00:03:20.333 --> 00:03:23.813
doing, especially because now
we're closer to the waterway.

72
00:03:23.813 --> 00:03:27.563
And so we want to make sure that
we are preventing these items

73
00:03:27.563 --> 00:03:29.673
from getting into the water.

74
00:03:29.673 --> 00:03:32.483
There's another
plastic bottle here.

75
00:03:32.483 --> 00:03:35.093
So we earlier found
a beverage bottle.

76
00:03:35.093 --> 00:03:37.193
Here is another one.

78
00:03:39.213 --> 00:03:45.053
Add it in the bag.

I really am collecting
this stuff, everybody.

80
00:03:47.723 --> 00:03:50.543
There is a plastic bottle
that's in the water there.

81
00:03:50.543 --> 00:03:52.823
There's another
piece of plastic,

82
00:03:52.823 --> 00:03:54.726
and then there's something
that I can't quite

83
00:03:54.726 --> 00:03:57.143
make out from here, but there
is something else over there

84
00:03:57.143 --> 00:03:57.643
as well.

85
00:03:57.643 --> 00:04:01.043
So we know that the
trash can into the water.

86
00:04:01.043 --> 00:04:03.623
And so we want to prevent that
by picking up as much as we

87
00:04:03.623 --> 00:04:05.873
see on the ground as we walk.

88
00:04:05.873 --> 00:04:07.883

to keep our neighborhoods
clean, and the streets clean,

90
00:04:11.873 --> 00:04:15.263
and the grass clean, and because
that does go into our waterway

91
00:04:15.263 --> 00:04:16.653
and affects wildlife.

00:04:16.653 --> 00:04:19.163

that we have as much

93
00:04:19.163 --> 00:04:22.343
of a positive
impact as possible.

00:04:22.343 --> 00:04:25.763

finished my trash trip,

95
00:04:25.763 --> 00:04:27.953
and it was a really
great trip honestly.

96
00:04:27.953 --> 00:04:30.893
I collected this bag
of trash, and I'm

97
00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:33.533
going to make sure that I
dump it into the trash can
