Big things happen when community comes together!
Last Friday, the Charleston County Greenbelt team rolled up their sleeves to help clean up litter along North Charleston’s beautiful Noisette Creek. Thanks to the Sustainability Institute and AmeriCorpsSC for hosting this impactful event!
Together we collected 216 pounds of trash — and 81 pounds of that was diverted for recycling! 🌿💧♻️
Every pound removed helps protect our waterways, wildlife, and community. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue making a cleaner, greener Charleston!
