Answer

Yes, I'm aware of it. I live just outside Vancouver, British Columbia and we have a beautiful river 'Coquitlam River' which has been polluted in the past by pigs of nature (meaning humans.) Our community banned together and clean it up. Many of the school kids are so up-beat regarding their environment that they will clean up beaches, rivers, creeks and forests. They spend long hours doing so and it's all volunteer work. If all of us keep our garbage where it belongs, give at least one or two hours a week to clean up any creek or river close to where they live (including lakes) then this would be a better world. It can be done because we do it here!
