As the snow melts and the ice begins to break up, another deluge of garbage will be swept into our waterways. Beyond being an eyesore, garbage also threatens the lives of many species of wild and domestic animals. Join in the fight to take back our water.

Have we lost respect for Mother Earth? It seems every year that goes by, there is less cleanup and only more garbage in and along the water. We must ask ourselves, who is responsible for the cleanup effort? Is it the state conservation department, or the people’s responsibility? What would it take to clean up such a mess, and how could our community afford such a large scale program? Also, what would be the benefit and result of a cleanup program and how could that positively affect our community?
