Recently I participated in a litter survey for the Keep Dallas Beautiful and the City of Dallas. While I am that the organizations contacted me to help , I was distressed to see that so little thought is put into the stream based side of trash. How can I say that? Well, the promo material that was produced for on a “wind shield survey” or drive by type view. No mention of paddle down, past through, on, etc. If you get out and walk almost any major road, you’ll find it has trash hiding in teh weeds, behind the bushes, etc just about any where the wind blows. Well if you paddle and creek, stream or river in an urban setting, you’ll see not only what the wind blows, but also where the storm water goes.
Do your part and stop using and or severely limit the use of Styrofoam, plastic bottles, and plastic bags. If we stop it from getting out there we can stop it from causing damage.
