Take 3 Campaign

The Take 3 Campaign is probably my favourite campaign at the moment. It involves simply picking up 3 pieces of rubbish with you each time you visit a beach, national park or coastline and placing it in the rubbish bin. This will make a significant impact if every person participates, as less plastic and rubbish will end up in the ocean. One of the top reasons marine life dies is due to consuming so much rubbish, leading to death. Australia alone has 4000 pieces of plastic rubbish floating in each square kilometre of our oceans. There is no excuse except laziness for throwing rubbish out the car window or leaving it behind, Australia has some of the best infrastructure in the world, meaning we have bins lining most streets. Imagine if someone kept leaving litter in your home, just like you leave it in their environment...

Muir Redwoods, California

The last national park which I visited in America was the Muir Woods National Park. We took a day tour from San Francisco to see the redwoods and would highly recommend to anyone who loves nature. The redwoods are ENORMOUS and are between 500-800 years old. It is an amazing sanctuary of trees so close to the city. Here are some photos:

Mount Hood, Oregon

After we looked at the waterfalls in Oregon we went to Mount Hood. This is one of America's top skiing destinations and it was absolutely amazing. Mount Hood is a dormant volcano, but has a 3-7% chance of erupting in the next 30 years. I have read that this current snow season has a major lack of snow, most likely due to global warming, highlighting how important it is to be environmentally friendly. Here are some pictures that we took:

The Saint Bernard is the Timberline Lodge's greeter for guests and they were taking it for a walk in the snow.

Until next time,
