Five volunteers celebrated World Environment Day by joining Sustainable Stillwater MN for a lunchtime Trash Dash, collecting 11 pounds of litter and two pints of cigarette butts in just one hour. From tiny candy wrapper scraps to a surprising fishing lure and a pair of socks, every item removed helped make our community a little cleaner and healthier.

On a warm, windy Earth Day evening, 27 community members came together in downtown Stillwater to remove 25 pounds of litter and make a visible impact. From cigarette butts to a surprising piece of rebar, every item collected was a small step toward a cleaner, healthier community.
