Rachel CarsonMay 27th, 1907-April 14th, 1964Alternative fall break was a celebration of her 100th birthday and the accomplishments she made in her lifetime.
16Impact of Going CoastalBy actually getting our hands dirty and seeing first-hand the array of garbage in the marsh, we realized the difference just a few hours of clean-up with just a small group can actually do for the environment. 40+ bags of trash accumulated in just under two hours.Soda cans, fireworks, wrappers, oyster netting, a flip flop, just to name a few.Some good came out of it: A baby terrapin turtle caught in the netting was released! Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts- Rachel Carson17
