Morgan Rutter 3/22/2018 5:00 PMWe went to Great Falls on Monday and even though I have lived here for a while I have never been. I brought a couple of bags just in case there was trash to clean up and was surprised to find that there was actually quite a bit. Most of it was recent however we found a really old coke can that had washed up on shore which was interesting. I also found it ridiculous that people would pick up their dogs poop but then leave the bag next to the path. -
Morgan Rutter 3/09/2018 7:31 AMI carpooled with friend to get dinner this week! I would definitely love to car pool all the time its a lot more fun to have a buddy in the car while driving. -
Morgan Rutter 3/01/2018 6:46 PMI wish I could walk to more places around my house because there are so many restaurants and grocery stores in such a short distance however, there are no sidewalks in my neighborhood and no walking space. There is always a good amount of traffic so it makes me nervous walking on the road. It would be really awesome if the city would build a path running the length of the road I live off of so that the shops and restaurants would be much more accessible to people who might be willing to walk instead of drive. -
Morgan Rutter 2/22/2018 5:47 PMI carry a reusable water bottle with me pretty much everywhere I go in order to avoid having to by plastic bottles. The water bottle refill stations on the GMU campus have definitely made this much easier and I love seeing the counter go up on how many bottle were reused! -
Morgan Rutter 2/08/2018 6:33 PMI watched National Parks Adventure on Netflix, which explores National Parks and the people who help to take care of them. I think it would be really interesting to work in National Parks across the country in order to help maintain them.
