1,745 total bags of Trash collected since 2022. (754 bags from Pittsburgh's Ohio River; 489 from Clearwater's Stevenson creek)

Removed my 450th Earthcleanup bag of #Litter from Clearwater's Stevenson Creek. My obsession with cleaning this creek began in May 2022. I was in shock at the magnitude of the pollution rotting away in the mangroves. Devastating scenes. The creek is significantly cleaner now💚🌎

They rolled out the welcome mat for me today on Clearwater Beach... Well, technically I found the mat & rolled it out for myself😁 76 pieces of litter bagged up today including maybe the most weathered hat I've ever found😳 The partial cloud cover made for some beautiful sights😎

Stevenson Creek cleanups are currently on pause as I try to heal an angry back. However, I did 'branch out'🌳 today for a scenic walk along Clearwater Harbor...picked up a couple plastic bottles along the way too

@TJRPitt You’ve inspired this 73 yo woman in St Pete. I can’t get out in the water but I can pick up trash on my walks. Who doesn’t appreciate a beautiful environment? Thank you for what you do.

Removing this large waterlogged item from Clearwater's Stevenson Creek yesterday was a struggle. 3 videos merged into 1 showing the step by step process... Still not sure what it is? Perhaps an outdoor furniture cover?

Clearwater's Stevenson Creek Estuary is truly 'a special place'... Please checkout https://t.co/85LItpnoCi Learn about the creeks story & the challenges ahead the wildlife, like Manatee, are facing. You can also see amazing videos of Manatee, Dolphin, and a Goliath Grouper!

On today's 2.5 hour paddle on Clearwater's Stevenson Creek, I removed 1 bag & 1 bucket full of litter, including 45 plastic bottles + a dirty bucket & a barnacle covered tire that has seen some things. A beautiful day to kayak & cleanup🌎

Yesterday I joined a 'Big Cleanup Clearwater' event and it just so happened to be at my favorite spot...Stevenson Creek! 20+ volunteers removed hundreds of pounds of trash from the creeks mangroves. My haul included that monster truck tire, chair, jolly ball & a bag of litter
Low tide on Clearwater's Stevenson Creek this morning allowed me to access & lift this monster truck tire out of the mud, roll it up about 30 yards thru a pathway in the mangroves & ultimately to safety for pickup👍 Really thankful this thing wasn't too buried in the mud

In Feb 2024 I identified what I thought would be the perfect location for the installation of a trash barrier on Clearwater's Stevenson Creek. Today it's a reality & it's working 24/7/365 to help protect the creek. A fantastic feeling personally to finally see it with my own eyes
Did some investigative work today on Clearwater's Stevenson creek. I think I found the perfect spot for a trash boom/barrier which would figure to greatly reduce future damage here🌎 I'll be suggesting this idea💡to the city... Also removed 2 Earthcleanup bags & a laundry basket

Too windy to kayak today, so I accessed Pittsburgh's Ohio River shoreline by foot. The 1.5 hour cleanup resulted in removing 3 bags of litter, 83 plastic bottles + a 'Jolly Ball'🤷♂️😁, chair, and a bicycle seat
