 So, the first post.. its currently 3:33 am on August 7th,2020 haha jeez. Okay so lets just cut to the chase and please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bryan Minoth and I am born and raised from Vegas, Class of 19', Valley Vikings woot woot! I hope to create a beacon of information regarding climate change and a clean-up group newsletter where I would and host clean-up events. It'd be great! I don't have much background in hosting and networking events but I really like hiking and I feel like I have a calling whenever I see trash out n about. I've been thinking about making this for over a year and have had a few false starts. I've been trying to learn html via w3 but found blogger. I hope to use this blog to finally get the ball rolling on a personal reconstruction on some recycling and activism vibes and hope you'll enjoy following me on this journey.
