我们是谁
Trash Pirates 是由一个对环境充满热情的小军人家庭创建的。在家庭散步时，米勒夫妇注意到当地公园、人行道和路边有垃圾。为了改善他们生活和度假的每个社区，他们开始正确地捡垃圾 处理它。
在一次散步中，他们当时七岁的儿子宣布他们为垃圾海盗，因为他们正在寻找垃圾。名字卡住了，运动开始了。
领导者珍娜是一位受前副总统戈尔培训的气候现实领导者。她还是几个当地环保组织的成员，并获得了哈佛 X 和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的环境类证书。她的希望是教育她的儿子和后代关于垃圾对环境、动物和人类的影响，同时让孩子们参与帮助拯救我们的星球免受气候变化的最严重影响。
我们所做的
我们寻找垃圾
成功的举措
We visit beaches, local parks, and walking paths to hunt for litter. We share what we find along with interesting facts and inspiring quotes on our social media pages to inspire others to clean up their part of the world. We hope to positively influence children and families into joining our movement by taking simple actions in their community, getting involved in climate activism, and learning more about our planet.
Goals
-Provide educational articles for kids and adults and resources for parents and teachers about litter, our environment, climate change, and more!
-Make local changes to discourage single-use plastic usage and littering.
September 2021 – We did a two-day cleanup in Alexandria, Virginia where we noticed a lot of trash in an open field, often used for soccer and recreation. We have noticed trash piling up in this area for some time. We reached out to Supervisor Rodney L. Lusk’s office and we were informed of their Operation Stream Shield initiative which provides part-time, temporary work experience to the homeless. OSS was informed of the litter at the field and will now be visiting it on a regular basis to make sure it stays clean.
November 2021 - After cleaning up an area near an Alexandria, VA high school several times, we reached out to Supervisor Rodney L. Lusk's office again to report the constant littering in this area. Their awesome staff jumped into action. They were able to get the area put on Operation Stream Shield's schedule to get it cleaned up on a regular basis. In addition to that, they have reached out to VDOT and in the coming months, a "No Littering" sign will be placed along the road!
February 2022 - During a 2-hour cleanup with 8 volunteers, we were able to clean up 200 pounds of litter from a field and intersection in Alexandria, VA. Item's recovered were cigarette butts, bottles, plastics, children's toys, empty mulch bags, straws and more. See more!
May 2022 - Over 37 pounds of trash were picked up by military, boy scouts, families, and a local official during our cleanup in the Kingstowne area of Alexandria, Virginia. Most that was picked up were small pieces like cigarette butts, wrappers, and car debris. See our photos!
