Question

How will you manage the litter during field visit

Answer 1

Backpack (see above)

Backpack liner if rain is likely to be an issue or you'll be traversing fords or wading in mud or swamps; if you do fall, a waterproof liner wrapped around your items will protect them from waterlogging

Writing equipment (paper, notebook, pens, pencils, paints, etc.)

Measuring instruments (as required)

Digital camera

Tablet (this may be useful for documenting things, if you're used to using it; make sure it's fully charged though)

Flashlight

Modeling clay (for impressions, models, etc.)

Cellphone (again, check that it's fully charged as there won't be anywhere to charge it out on the field trip)

Sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent

Wind jacket/rain jacket

Layers of clothing (if needed)

See a camping list if you're going for an overnight or longer field trip.

Answer 2

There are many ways how the litter can be managed during field trips but it has to be done by each and every individual to keep the surrounding clean. Some of the ideas are,

• Limiting the use of plastic bags that are non-biodegradable .
• Maintaining a healthy ecosystem and throwing the trash in the trash cans.
• Try to recycle the waste products whenever possible
• Throwing the waste that is not littered by you in the dustbin.
• Not pollute the environment.
