Send us a text'Fish for Garbage' is a nonprofit that was organized by a bunch of outdoor enthusiasts who noticed significant amounts of trash littering stream banks and lakeshores of popular fishing locations in Utah. They started by encouraging local anglers to collect garbage each time they went out fishing, and then began organizing official events inviting volunteers and locals to come help pick up trash.Now they organize around six cleanups every year in the spring and summer that mobilize hundreds of volunteers all over the state. They recently reached the impressive milestone of removing over 100,000 pounds of garbage since their first beginnings in 2015.My guest on this episode is Jared Winkler, the President of 'Fish for Garbage'. He tells a little more about the work they do with educating kids and others about taking stewardship for the outdoors, and at the very end I had him share some of the most ‘interesting’ things they’ve found in all the cleanups he’s been a part of.With the weather warming up and all of us spending more time outside, this is a great episode to remind everyone that picking up a little trash truly can make a difference. Give it a listen and you might even feel inspired to host your own local cleanup.Links mentioned in the episode:Fish for Garbage WebsiteFish for Garbage InstagramFish for Garbage FacebookFollow the podcast on social media:Do Something More InstagramDo Something More FacebookDo Something More YouTube
