katherine- Journal Entry July 20th, 2019

During this day we went to an organization called Las Baulas which is located in Playa Grande, Santa cruz, this organization is in charge of protecting the turtles from this beach and keep the area clean. We were able to work along with stundents from the university UCR from Costa Rica, we help them making interviews to visitors from this beach, to be able to know if this beach is one of the cleanest from this area of the country and collect data of what needs to be improve, we ask them different questions related to the environment and how often they visit this place, this information would help the organization to have a different type of view and let them now on what they need to work on to make Playa Grande better. After the interviews we walk for an hour collecting trash that was all around the beach and then we separated the trash into different groups such as plastic, glass and cans. This experience teach us how to be open minded in our project, it give us ideas of how to ask for opinion to different members of our community to make Jouth Taking Action more efficient.
