On Saturday, September 26, 2020 we had over 45 people gather to clean up trash along the Mississippi River. This was part of a project led by The Mississippi Runs Through US Provisional Cause-Based Rotary Club that gathered many Rotary clubs the same day. Our gathering consisted of the Downtown Rotary Club of La Crosse, Rotaract members and Rotary Club of La Crosse After Hours members. We picked up many things from fishing line, to barrels, to dentures. There is an annual river clean up that is done in La Crosse each spring. In the future, we plan to support the spring effort and continue to lead the fall river clean up effort. We tracked our garbage pick up through a Marine Debris Tracker led by National Geographic. We'll be able to know how much was picked up on Saturday by the shared Rotary efforts. DATA below. Thank you to everyone who participated and to Jamie O'Neill for chairing the project!
