On a picture-perfect Saturday morning, team members and interns from NASA’s Johnson Space Center volunteered their time to clean up the Armand Bayou watershed as part of the annual “Trash Bash” in and around Houston. Starting in 1993 with seven sites, Trash Bash has grown to 15 sites across the Galveston Bay watershed with thousands of volunteers annually. Organized by the Houston-Galveston Area Council, it’s the largest single-day waterway cleanup in the Lone Star State.
Johnson’s Green Team coordinated the center’s volunteers this year. They cleaned up both sides of Space Center Boulevard, from the Village on the Lake apartment complex almost to Middlebrook Road. Badged employees also cleaned up one of the ditches inside the Johnson center fence line.
