This video was written and produced by students in Jim Bentley's 5th-grade class. Bentley is an educator in Elk Grove, California and a National Geographic Fellow and Explorer.

This is a tutorial to teach anyone who wants to participate in their Planetary Stewards Grant how to collect data along waterways.

Students in Bentley's class are mapping how plastic moves from suburb to sea. They're seeking an answer to the question, "How can we reduce plastic entering our oceans?"
