The Cigarette Butt Planters are Ready

They just need to be filled with sand and delivered on Monday. From left to right, they go to: Pail Lanes, Midas, Big City Diner and Ohana Karaoke.
The girls will count the cigarette butts collected on the July 18 Adopt-A-Block litter clean up day. The planters will be delivered on July 19. The goal is to pick up less cigarette butts on our October Adopt-A Block-Clean Up.

How much Food Waste? [Voice Thread]

Do you know about Non-Source Point pollution?

Whether you have a stream running through your backyard, business, local school or park, protecting it is a good idea. Many property owners upstream may not realize that what they do on their land impacts other residents and water quality downstream. Every day pollutants such as trash, yard waste (e.g., grass clippings, leaves, prunings, or fruits), paint, construction debris (e.g., stockpiles of soil, sand, or gravel), used motor oil, fertilizers and pesticides, and dog waste reach our urban streams. Trash on stream banks are unsightly and unsanitary for humans and wildlife. Even organic materials such as yard waste are unacceptable to dump along streams banks. When these materials get into the stream cycle, they decompose and eliminate critical, life-giving oxygen from the water. As a result, streams become unsightly and emit foul odors.
