Chipper is looking out for the environment, one piece of garbage at a time."He really has been an inspiration," Pollak said."I'll go to group cleanups in the area, and when people see him, they're like, 'Chipper's here!' So everyone gets to come meet him and see what he's all about."
Everywhere they go, they collect bags and bags of garbage — beer cans, plastic bottles, discarded pieces of clothing and more — that other people have left behind. Pollak always comes prepared with bags to collect the waste, and has been shocked at how much garbage she and her friends can pick up on any given day."It's heartbreaking," she said,"but we love this area so much, and we really want to do our best to keep it wild.
Pollak and Chipper — and Pollak's other dog, Quinci — often meet up with friends to do big cleanups. Many of them are part of an effort called Wild Keepers, which vows to collect 1 million pounds of litter by the year 2023. They've been at it since 2016 and have collected over 200,000 pounds so far.
