Teachers and students describe a hands-on marine debris cleanup project in Whittier, Alaska, where students collect beach trash and sort it with a local engineer who recycles it into usable lumber. The video connects environmental stewardship to agriculture and Alaska's fishing-based economy, while students reflect on how the experience revealed the real impact of plastic pollution on wildlife and ecosystems. It also highlights how FFA participation prepares students for future careers and empowers them to create their own environmental solutions.
