Pollution Solutions

any of our streams are filled with pollutants - from mine water discharge to agricultural runoff, to poorly operating septic systems to trash. Of all the pollutants, the one we can most easily do something about is trash. Not only does trash pollute our waters, but it is unsightly, a safety hazard and devalues property.

A CleanWays is a nonprofit organization that helps people clean up the environment. Through PA CleanWays people can 'adopt' roadways, pathways, waterways, and other areas both public and private. CleanWays has gathered information from its own and other waterway cleanups to put together this video illustrating 10 steps to organizing a cleanup.
