Potrero Cleanup Journal Entry

Yesterday (May 3rd), Cindy, some of my other Potrero friends, and I decided to help clean up a bit of the Potrero area. We wanted to do this because the rainy season is coming soon and we wanted to prevent any trash getting moved by the water to the beach, especially because we can't go there right now so we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Cindy organized the whole thing and I would say it was a success. We ended up filling all the bags in this picture plus 3 more bags of trash. This was only from our houses to the Potrero plaza, which was only about a 20-minute walk. As Cindy and I were walking home we noticed how much cleaner the streets looked and we felt really accomplished. It was a really great experience to get to hang out with my friends for a bit while also doing something good for the community. Someone even came up to Cindy and asked how he could join us to help next time, which I thought was really awesome. I am excited for when we will be able to do it again.
