What a great opportunity to meet other progressives and do something good for our finest natural resource.

Hope to see you there!

Since when does one need to be "progressive" to care if our river is clean?

APK - As I watched a family fishing near Bridgewater Place on Saturday and tossing their plastic worm containers into the river before they left, I realized that many of the river's users are just that- users. As an avid angler, I see so many "little" atrocities like that on a regular basis and it makes me sick. I would like to think that by helping keep our river clean, we are sending the message that being progressive can mean something as little as making the effort to use a garbage can.

BTW, I confronted said family about their waste issue, but through broken English, I'm pretty sure I was told I might be stabbed. Nice.
