Baby Steps to a Cleaner Environment

chad.jpg One segment that we didn't get to talk about this week was the Mr. Clean segment illustrating the work of Chad Pregracke and the Living Lands and Waters organization. I thought this segment was directly relevant to some issues here in Meadville with the French Creek Project. The inspiring part of Chad's story was that he didn't feel the need to take a giant step towards solving a problem--he saw trash in his river and starting picking it up. Chad says it wasn't "him against the river" but, instead, was "him against a papercup." I think this is an excellent philosophy to take when confronted with what can seem like daunting, unattainable goals. Wouldn't this be an excellent way to solve, not only environmental problems, but other issues facing us today? For those of you who were not able to view the segment, you can access it on-line by going to: Mr. Clean. Also, you can find out more about Chad's nonprofit organization by going to: Living Lands and Waters.
