Currently drafting a letter to the Board of Education to hopefully get an avenue into a discussion.

However, I'm sure we both know the answer to the problem is not cleaning the mess up, but rather stopping the trash to begin with. Wish we could find a viable solution.

I would bet the school is simply unaware of the problem or at the least the magnitude. testflycarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438987908906957352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006067737542850060.post-208665781660988432012-09-25T15:43:37.461-07:002012-09-25T15:43:37.461-07:00Good on ya for taking the time to clean that creek...Good on ya for taking the time to clean that creek up. I try and make a point of doing the same thing on some of my local waters but it gets frustrating when you see the same mess on your very next trip! Unfortunately it's not just the kids creating this issue , I've witnessed many adults littering with no regard for the beautiful scenery they're desecrating.I guess we just keep on cleaning it up and hope for the best.HighPlainsFlyFisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687603070322008065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006067737542850060.post-10883177449989827942012-09-25T12:57:41.475-07:002012-09-25T12:57:41.475-07:00Thanks Gregg!

I think I'll do just what you suggest and begin a conversation with the school board. <br /><br />Thanks again sir.

The administrators could be given a show me mini field trip, that may help solidify your lecture. I work with a school system and absolutely know you would be given permission to address an assembly, here anyway. That is far and away beyond the expectations of senior high students.<br /><br />Good luck, GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006067737542850060.post-88623746360921835332012-09-25T11:37:47.118-07:002012-09-25T11:37:47.118-07:00Thanks Wildflower!

I hope to encourage the school system or student body to adopt the portion of Rock Creek that runs parallel to school property.

I too taught my kids never to litter and last year while riding in my son in Dallas truck caught him throwing a cup out. Boy did he get a lecture from me!<br />I am wondering if there is not some student organization that would take this on as a community service. It would help with the problem and also make them think twice about littering.wildflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05282639559522358544noreply@blogger.com
