Isn't there a Telford clean up that weekend?

Kelly this is put together from different people. It is actually sponsored from a few organizations and the county I think.
I put it up so in case someone else cannot make it to Telford they could go here or maybe go on Thursday and Friday. :D

Just think of the good workout you could get doing both of those clean ups! I'm going to try to be there. Cindy Butler :D

Ladies and Gentleman,
Please consider contacting the show- Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.
Because that is a Dirty Job.

Yes, It's dirty, hard work. I know you are a old hand at this yourself Andrew. You get sore, you may even need to be up to date on your tetanus shot. I also know satisfaction of seeing a sink clean after all the hard work, the joy of shared work with freinds and the knowledge that I am physically doing something to help my environment. We have a choice as adult human beings, we can either watch the world we live in rot on TV or every once and a while step up and do something. Personally I don't like living with myself when I don't do something now and then. I think this is pretty cool, it's a lot of work to set these clean ups and two in one weekend! WOW! I can feel like I'm good for garbage clean ups for a year after this! Hope to see you there, Cindy Butler :lol:

Has anyone considered notifying local press? Too often, diving only gets press when an accident has occurred. How about turning the tables a bit and doing a little Self Promotion? I can see the headline now. Cave Divers do their part to keep environment natural, or Cave Divers pick up after Rednecks. I don't see a bad side to it!

Be careful now... Even though I'm well educated, and considered a "Professional" in my field, and I love to cave dive, my parents are from Georgia and they grew up in Dixie Co, so... I could be considered a Redneck. :-D

I dive the San Marcos River at last twice a year.
To date I have plled my weight plus out of the spring river.
Highpoints inlude 55 gallon drum, a good 10 lbs of batteries, plastic shoes, and beer containers- glass and cans.
While I am not in the neighborhood I agree that pulling stuff out makes you feel Great!

Good luck and watch out for needles.

Thank you to any and all who participate in this clean up effort. I wish you all the best for a great day. :lol: I will not be able to attend as I have made a previous commitment to be at the Telford Clean Up.

You can go tomorrow if your off. Pete has three days scheduled. Hopefully the weather holds for both clean ups! Cindy :D
