Joining 800 other volunteers to clean up the Don in April 2019
April 27, 2019: I love cleanups. There’s nothing else that will get me out in the fresh air and grassy areas or cement roads or whatever it is with a trusty trash picker, plastic gloves, and a bag to clean out everything that does not belong in nature. Although I have done cleanups of my own in the past, there’s just nothing like cleaning up with a group of individuals with the same passion and intent. It’s much easier to join a clean-up, especially a large clean-up of this scale, when Continue reading
