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.

In August 2012, 35 volunteers took to the Sangamon River and trails to clean up garbage and clear invasive bush honeysuckle from Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve in Mahomet, Ill. The joint effort was coordinated by the Illinois RiverWatch Network and the Upper Sangamon River Conservancy (USRC) with support from the Illinois EPA’s SCALE Grant Program and Republic Services. In five hours, volunteers removed an estimated two tons (dry weight) of garbage from the river, including 24 tires, a water heater, a dishwasher, two clothes washers, several 55-gallon drums (including an herbicide container), three bicycles, a cash register (curiously found beneath the I-74 overpass) and a kiddie pool, not to mention the innumerable bags of everyday household litter like food wrappers and soda bottles. | Photos courtesy of Bruce Colravy

Some folks from my missional community and I went out to Bastrop to help a family with the cleanup of the location where their house once stood.
It is a heart-wrenchingly beautiful thing to see a family home resurrected from the remains, and we are looking forward to assisting them with this more.
This will be an ongoing project, more from this soon.

Taking part in an active environmental community is paramount which is why we not only organise our own beach cleanup events but also help out whenever we are invited to join other organisations or groups who organise events which share our goals and dreams!

Registration is now open for the Washington Coast Cleanup on April 25, 2015. Visit www.coastsavers.org and sign up today!
CoastSavers is a great organization and I've enjoyed volunteering with them over the years. I've lost count of how many times I've participated in cleanups, but each time has been highly rewarding - and one never knows what trash and treasures they will find.
Marine debris is a global problem. No part of the world is left untouched by debris and its impacts. Want to help? Consider participating in next month's cleanup.

This year CoastSavers held a poster contest. One of my photographs won!
