Last August Susan and forty-two other students got wet and dirty while removing six tons of garbage from the river running across their city. They cleaned up the river as part of a weeklong environmental camp. Like one in three American rivers, this river is so polluted that it’s unsafe for swimming and fishing. Still, Susan, who has just completed her third summer on the river cleanup, sees a change in this river. Environmental scientists praise the teenagers for removing garbage that can harm wild life. Water birds, for example, can choke on plastic bottle rings and get cut by scrap metal. When the cleanup started, garbage was everywhere. But this year the teenagers had to hunt for it in their boats. By the end of the six-hour shift, they had removed enough garbage to fill more than two large trucks. “Garbage in the river makes people begin to care about environmental issues,” Susan says. She hopes that when others read that she and her peers care enough to clean it up, maybe they would think twice before they throw garbage into the river.
