CITO with Puffy ?

20 July 2024, 14:00 - 15:30

Once there was a young boy who had a special bond with his pet bird, Puffy. They spent every day together, exploring the woods and meadows near their home. One day, they came across a beautiful park that was littered with trash.

The boy knew that something had to be done about the mess, so he decided to organize a CITO (Cache In, Trash Out) event. He invited other Geocachers, and together they set out to clean up the park.

With Puffy in his mind, he led the group through the park, picking up trash and debris along the way. Puffy even helped by swooping down to snatch up small bits of litter with his beak.

As they worked, the park began to transform before their eyes. The once dirty and unkempt space began to sparkle and shine. The trees seemed to stand a little taller, and the flowers bloomed a little brighter.

After hours of hard work, the group stepped back to admire their handiwork. The park was now clean and beautiful, thanks to the efforts of the Boy, Puffy, and their Geocaching friends.

As they sat on a bench, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine, He looked at Puffy and smiled. He knew that they had made a real difference that day, and he was grateful to have such a faithful companion by his side.

From that day on, the Boy and Puffy continued to explore the world around them, always looking for ways to make it a better place. And though they may have been small, their hearts were filled with a boundless love for the world and everything in it.

Please bring your CITO TOTT (gloves, buckets, etc.)

I will be providing some trash bags and hand santizer for those that need.

Safety Suggestions

You should wear some form of gloves for protection. Additionally, good old trash grabbers or other pickup device can help create further separation between you and the litter. Also, don’t forget high visibility clothing, close-toed shoes, and sunscreen!

Best practice: don’t touch the litter directly, and don’t touch your face.

Choose your litter wisely: only pick up the litter that is safe to handle.

A big thanks to Joe Friday for helping me with this event
