The Great Mississippi River Clean Up is an effort of the Mayors along the Mississippi River to clean up all the plastic pollution starting in our neck of the woods, way up here in MN so that it doesn't end up all the way down there in the Gulf of Mexico. On Saturday, May 10, we not only cleaned up the plastic pollution we saw, but we also logged it into a national database so that the researchers from the University of Georgia can look at the success (or failure) of the recent efforts to curb littering and reduce plastics in the environment. Our people started at Crosby Farm in St. Paul and walked along the Mississippi River trail cleaning up, logging info and being part of something big! Way to go clean up crew!
