Clackamas river cleanup!
HELLO again black belt team! so yesterday on saturday me and some of the black belt crew went on a boat that steven had provided us. And would paddle all the way across the entire river and wherever we went we would stop on an island and pickup trash. it really dispoints me to see this river so trashed its not even funny! every raft that we passed by people were always drinking beer and after they were done they would just toss it over theyre shoulders! im really scared that this river is getting polluted... So we had filled up about ten garbage bags full of trash cans beer bottles broken glass plastic it was so much garbage that we actually had to stop collecting it!we had filled up stevens boat completely filled with garbage! sometimes we were just going along the river when we would pass up about 50 beer cans on the bottom of the river we knew it was cans because we could see the reflection of the sun on the cans. we found some really strange items on the way my dad found a sewing machine then joel and johnathan found a car battery that weighed so so much! it was very cool that we were able to make a difference overall we did a amazing job out on the river one time BO saw a rubber mattres on the other side of the river and he had to swim all the way across then pick it up and come back we got a picture so im sure you can beleive us!
Have an amazing day!
Please dont pollute! :(
sincerly, Clark.Ahrendt

Clark I appreciate your sentiments.
ReplyDeleteAnd the condition of this river sickens me each year I participate in a clean up activity.
After you have discovered the secret to making everyone care about what they are doing with the environment let me know. I have been trying to figure it out for about 40 years and haven't come up with one as yet.
All we can do is lead by example and hope someone who sees cares.
