Last weekend the Service Committee of Challenge Detroit hosted their first event. We were challenged to split up throughout the city, pick up trash in different neighborhoods, and take photos to contribute to the national efforts of Litterati, an organization that focuses on “combining technology, social awareness and art, the Litterati is tackling this ever-escalating problem one piece of litter at a time”. For more information on the Litterati organization, please visit their website.

I spent my afternoon in Brightmoor picking up at Gompers Elementary/Middle School and the Brightmoor Community Center. Though we are still tallying our numbers from the event, I thought that in the meantime, I could share some of my photos with all of you.
