After gaining support from various local businesses in Northeast Detroit to provide trash pick-up, our team organized another community clean-up event on E. 7 mile. After 4 hours of hard labor, our team filled up about 30 biodegradable plastic bags of wood, paper, and other trash in the community.

We must inspire the youth in our communities to take ownership in providing a safer, cleaner, and prosperous place to build our future. In order to make our communities sustainable, we must begin by cleaning up the foundation.
