Clean Up the environment

When you take your children to the park or beach, end the outing by cleaning up the area around you. Hand each child a small garbage sack, or, you hold the sack and let the child/children put the litter in the sack. If there are aluminum cans, put them in a separate sack. (Be sure to stay with the children at all times. Don't let them get out of sight. Don't forget to bring a hand sanitizer to clean their hands after the activity)
