As a fisherman, I have a personal rule of filling one trashbag per trip. I find tons of fishing line and it drives me nuts. Too many times I have found some poorwildlife tangles and dead in it.

I love that in Germany we pay a deposit of 0.25 for each bottle. You better believe that they get returned, or collected by those needing the money. At large fairs people make hundreds of Euros picking up the bottles left laying around.

Some US states do something like that, unfortunately the number has gone down a lot over the years because few felt that it was worth the effort. I live in one of the maybe five states that still recycles plastic bottles and cans on a large scale and people unfortunately do still litter. I'd say the biggest difference is made at parties and gatherings though, there's usually a bag provided just for bottles.

You're doing fantastic work Maya! What you're doing here is turning an abstract issue like pollution into a clear image of why it's so important to be better for our environment! I never knew that some animals can absorb toxins directly through their skins, and that drove home much more than anything else I've ever seen why we need to keep our waters clean.

Some toxins we can absorb through our skin as well, I guess it all just depends on the skin, the toxin and the dosage. Better not to play guess with nature this way.

Microplastics are a huge problem. I worked on research when I was in college that was about how microplastics were in our rivers and it was crazy how many there were but also how big and small they were. People need to get educated about types of plastics and how they impact the environment and also how to recycle them! Not all plastics are made equal and actually mixing some types of plastics makes them uneligible to be recycled due to the recycling process not being able to handle mixed streams. Stay sustainable everyone!

@poppinlochnesshopster3249

Always hear about microplastics, they're everywhere and in everything but I never see anything solid about health effects they actually cause? Surely if they were like, lead/asbestos level bad we would have studies showing their effects by now? Obviously large chunks in animal stomachs are a disaster but when they're microscopic? What if that is an inert state for plastic to exist in, and if we're lucky in years to come after sufficient bans on production of said plastics come in we realize the microplastics are the state we want them to be in?

I despise people who litter. What's worse is that a lot of the times the stuff we put in our recycle bins ends up in the same place as regular trash. Really burns my britches.

I basically did this a few months ago. Went on a walk in a local park and was so enraged by the litter everywhere that the next day I woke up at 6am and spent 3 hours litter picking and it was so satisfying

the beach and hills in my area are completely clean. you have to go there by crossing a pedestrian-only bridge. my city invested in stands with paper trash bags and put huge dumpsters in there. everyone takes this bag when they are going there just because it's so convenient - it's easier to take your trash in a separate, handy bag, than try to take it yourself or remember to pack your own trash bag. it's such an easy way to take care of this gorgeous area, I wish it was more common, especially outside EU.

My friends and I did this when we were teens at a local park. There was so much trash in the creek that flowed through. It took a few weeks but at the end, there was no more trash, and everyone was so happy to see the park clean. The wildlife started moving back in, and as far as I know, the amount of trash in the park has been very minimal since, and its been 10 years. Sometimes all it takes is for people to see how nice a space can be, to want to keep it that way.

fair play to you for getting out and clearing up. You should use your audience to get something organised! Well done champ.

i used to work for Parks and Rec and half of our job was just trash clean up from waterways, trails, or our parks. It was crazy the amount of cigeret buds and plastic bottles we would throw away. It was eye opening and very angering just in our small area how much trash effected wildlife in the area.

You need to make this an event with viewers or other streamers. Probably nice to watch a competition of who collects most trash in an hour from polluted locations or something like that(a hidden bottle count for bonus points would be a funny throwback).

My neighbor picks up trash every time she goes walking and inspired me to get my own setup to do the same. Also I love picking up any trash on the beach beforehand as a thank you to Mother Earth as well as supporting more fun in the sand later. Thanks for sharing!

This is great. I study trash for my graduate degree. I call myself a garbologist and people laugh but it’s real! I do what maya does In this video and then I weigh and take the volume and analyze it (if it’s plastic) using FTIR analysis. Plastic is most prevalent in our freshwater streams and riparian zones. It’s important to get the community involved like this and get people excited to pick up trash. ❤

I live by the ocean and I take a lot of walks, unfortunately every time I walk on the beach it becomes a bit of a trash clean up project. I wish more people felt the obligation to keep nature clean, so thanks for doing this.

this is the stream that got me to pester the priest i work for to form a church group with our congregation to clean up places in our area :) very fulfilling!!

I do agree that trash picking can be both fun, educational and completely essential if wanna sustain life on the planet. What u did in this video is what I do for a living in Sweden. Clean forests, nature parks and so on 5 days a week. So love to here someone els talk and explain why its needed so much for our future to exist.

What I like about this channel and its content is that it has taught me so many things that I was not aware of!! Where I'm from you don't get as much education about nature and how INCREDIBLY important it is to preserve it or how we can contribute by doing "little things", so thank you very much for educating me :)

Binging maya videos and managed to catch one on time! GOOD JOB MAYA!!!🎉

Maya is on of those person who really deserve there succes so much a true inspiration you can look up to

There's an annual beach cleanup here that my friends and I sign up for every year, it's actually a lot of fun.

Good job Maya! Save the frogs!!!

I hope you got the recognition you deserved while doing this! My Dad had us picking up trash any time we went on a walk/hike. Hated it when I was young but it is a great habit to get in to and the occasional gratitude from strangers is always nice

Oh my gosh the thumbnail photo is so beautiful! Happy to see frogs getting their home cleaned up🤭

Maya the cleaner and Maya the Trashwoman goes so hard

hey wow thanks for cleaning up that rain wash area...i work at the "grocery store" and have to see it everyday...the city is supposed to take care of that area but fail to do so...plus the trash from that area just gets blown around easily but again thanks

The white duck is a domestic duck probably dumped there. They often swim around with native duckos till they pass cause they don't know how to fend for themselves in the wild. You can usually take them home legally provided you take care of them properly. Love the channel! Keep up the good work ☺️

near where i work is a quays like body or water and every year loads of ducks, geese, swans and other birds use it. at the moment in the area where the water meets the land its full of trash and its also the same area they like to stand. a few weeks ago i was visiting and saw geese nibbling at literally polystyrene. so i took all of and binned it. ive wanted to go back with some bin bags and a grabber stick and clear the whole thing and i think now seeing you and how easy it is i think ill do it :) i love all that you do and the positive messages you share Xx

It's heartwarming that some content that is being created is actually good for the world. Thank you for being awesome ❤

You are a gem Maya. ☺

Love trash cleanups. I do a bit when I can and occasionally do a bit while on walks at my local park. I need reasons to go be active and it helps. People are pretty big on being gentle with the local ecology though. We have protected wetlands areas and they're literally fixing the natural erotion so the animals don't lose their habitat. I regularly try to help my local wildlife and I'm friends with the wildlife rescue. I had to bring a couple birds with hurt wings in, they caught on my porch during storms because the lightening is worse than ever. Also had a lot of smoke issues from wildfires up North this year. I'm slightly asthmatic and was full on wheezing for like 2 weeks this year. It was bad.

One could say Maya is a kind of pick up artist.

Keep up the great work!

Maya saving the world!!

I pick up trash all the time but it's just my lazy slob of a roommate's trash all over the kitchen and apartment lol.

it'd be cool if maya set up a date, like a cleanup day, where everyone went to clean their local area and everyone who wanted to took pics/videos and sent them in for maya to see. Before and after pictures, wildlife pictures (like ducks and such), and weird things they found while cleaning would be so cute. I feel like Maya is the perfect public person to encourage something like that, just this video is making me want to go out and clean up!

I joined a club in college recently because of a trash cleanup. It was super fun and meeting other passionate people was really great!

Imagine if every 100 people who watched this video went out and picked up some trash. Even if this video only for 50,000 views the impact would be crazy on those small communities.

ive got to say you're awesome, I love your love of earth and its creatures

Thank you for all of your efforts to help wildlife. You are an amazing voice for the voiceless. I suggest...you really should organize local area clean-ups. There is so much trash there and I have to think that many people would be willing to show up to help you get this done quicker (and could be done weekly, monthly, whenever you find a spot that needs it). I live in Central Texas and I would absolutely be willing to help out this amazing cause. Also, while those silica packets have no business in nature, they are chemically inert and not toxic (but, because they don't break down, are absolutely a choking hazard and can cause blockages which kill animals when eaten).

in the Netherlands (and in Germany aswell, Belgium I think does it too) we pay a deposit for things like cans and plastic and glass bottles. we get the money back by bringing it to a store or anywhere where there is a collection point. we even have collection points on big train stations! there're still people that just throw that stuff out and it still ends up in nature sometimes, but it has cut down on pollution significantly. in general the Netherlands recycling system is pretty good, at most supermarkets there are big collector trash cans where you can throw away other types of glass that don't have deposits and its even sorted into different colour groups. a lot of supermarkets also have paper disposals and other plastic disposals.

I usually have a reuseable water canteen but this video alone has convinced me to never touch a plastic waterbottle ever again

Wow this was very sweet. Some of my humanity was restored
