LAND POLLUTION COUNT
DATA CARD

Plastic

It is suggested that volunteer researchers work in pairs, with one person picking up debris and the other taking notes. An easy way to keep track of the items you find is by making tick marks. Record the total number of "tickmarks" at right in the "Total Number of Items" column after the clean up is over.
