Taking photos of litter is far from trashy. Pennsylvania is taking action against litter in a unique, artistic way. The \u201cLens on Litter\u201d contest challenges Pennsylvania residents to capture humanity\u2019s destructive footprint \u2013 trash.<\/p>\n

And both parents and kids can take up the challenge.<\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania Resources Council\u2019s 2023 Gene Capaldi Lens on Litter Photo Contest is for amateurs only but will have two categories \u2013 students and adults.
