I am sure that we are all capable of picking up a bag of litter a week in our neighborhoods. There have been studies done that show that the cleaner an environment the less likely there is to be a high crime rate. Living in a community we are all so proud of has the ability to be cleaner. The highway is one thing with the trucks going to the Dump from Savory or Lund and garbage flying off the truck. The streets downtown could use a few bending over citizens to pick up. In a city where the streets are clean, it’s more likely that the tourists will leave it that way. It’s so beautiful here in Paradise we owe it to the environment to keep tidying as we go. If anyone is interested in organizing a litter pick up from Lund to Savory lets put it together, for before Sea Fair and then again after. Powell Riverians are easy going but we are not lazy. Get a bag and go out picking till its full, its good for you the environment and community Spirit. The fairies like it too!
