The cleanup day was a resounding success, with mounds of trash and garbage of all kinds pulled out of the river and banks by over 250 volunteers, including Yours Truly. I teamed up with two other gents in Milltown to pull out a huge pile of scrap metal from a steep bank. The photo I took of my Milltown teammates was run in page 6 of the print edition of the paper.
I worked with and met some great people at the Donnybrook and Milltown cleanup locations. The hard work of all the volunteers made a big difference, and hopefully inspires the community to care for the priceless natural resources we have.
Here's the online edition.
...And the print edition.
Following are some photos taken that day that didn't make the paper.

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and commenting. It was a fun piece to "research" and put together.
DeleteGreat article! I love trashy novels... I mean articles about cleaning up trash :) Did anyone polish the hippo? haha
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily! I didn't make it as far as the rhino, but I guess it's considered a large piece of litter by a lot of the neighborhood folks. Not everyone loves it as much as you did.
