I woke up this morning to three inches of new fluffy snow. I knew Suzy wanted to get pictures of her roses with falling snow before they completely shrivel away. Notice the roses are stuck in the snowbank, she accidently broke the vase and need to clean up the glass. You can see in the picture where the picket fence was broken from the falling ice dam earlier in the week.
We lucked out with the snowfall, Minneapolis received 17 inches of snow, we only received about 2-3 inches.
Living Lands and Waters (LLW), an Illinois-based non-profit dedicated to cleaning up America’s rivers, spent nearly two weeks hosting volunteer clean-up days on the Delaware River. Held Aug. 20 through Sept. 2, the clean-up effort was sponsored in part by Philadelphia Water and resulted in the removal over 35,000 pounds of trash. Here, volunteers from Philadelphia Water and the Delaware River Basin Commission join the LLW crew for a Sept. 1 clean-up just north of the Betsy Ross Bridge that netted 26 large bags of recyclable bottles and 17 30-gallon bags of non-recyclable trash.

4/7/18 Volunteers needed: Trash in Bread and Cheese Creek and along it's banks before our cleanup
Thank you so very much for your interest in volunteering with us! We can certainly use your help! Please mark your calendars for our cleanup of the Historic Bread and Cheese Creek on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Rain or Shine, we clean up the section of Historic Bread and Cheese Creek from the Berkshire Area to North Point Road.

This event will be run in conjunction with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay’s Annual Project Clean Stream and American River’s Nation River Cleanup as well as Reclaim the Bay! We have also attached an event flyer for your use.
We run our cleanups as a family event with plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We welcome every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the cleanup. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we need people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to help at registration, setup food and snacks as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. We will provide lunch and snacks as well as gloves. A limited number of tools are available for sign-out, but suggest bringing your own if you have them
Volunteers are also needed to arrive early and stay late for setup and break down. Photographers and Videographers also needed!

Megan turns around as if to say "is someone going to clean that up?" having just witnessing the pig make the puddle behind him!

Shore Cleanup:
300 volunteers went down to the coasts in Zouk Mosbeh and clean up the beaches after the golden shores of Lebanon were covered by all types of waste. People from all over the country (Saida, Baalbeck, Tripoli, and the mountains) showed up, removed, and sorted the trash. 600 large bags were the result of this collective effort and all the sorted trash was sent to the recycling facilities across the country such as “Bi Clean” in Bekfaya.

Today’s Pearl district graffiti cleanup was a huge success with three community volunteers pitching in. Tom Tullai, John Banton and George Ranum of Vancouver, WA heard about Rogue’s graffiti removal efforts in the Oregonian’s Arts and Entertainment section and decided to get in on the action. Tom, John and George were thanked with Rogue gift bags and were ushered into the pub after the cleanup for a few pints. Outside Deschutes Brewery, the Rogue team caught the attention of diners and wait staff alike who gawked at the scene through restaurant windows. General Manager Mike Rowan even came outside to check out the action! His attempt at coercing us into cleaning the Deschutes bathroom was unsuccessful, but he did thank us for our community efforts.
