Clean Up Challenge

[Fishin' Junkie]

HEY ALL, I recieved this message on another forum I visit and I think it is a great idea!

Here is the challenge and it is simple and will benefit all of us and future generations.Please pass the word and let's clean up our fishing waters.

"I_____________ (insert your name) agree to bring at least one piece of trash (that's not mine) on every trip off/from any body of water I visit."

As of today, there are 1375 registered users. That adds up to alot of trash taken out of our waters!

What do you all think?

Good idea but I have been doing that all my life anyway. It's just like anything else, a lot of people that care can make a big difference and no one is out much at all.

It's important that this topic surface regularly, so that those that have not thought about how easy it is for ONE person to make a difference, especially when combined with the efforts of hundreds.

Another thing my Dad taught me years ago...never leave anything you brought and always leave with more than you came with.

It should be a lifestyle, not a movement.

Hey, great idea. I try to pick up trash when I can. </p>

Why not  tweek the idea...why not do it in "Lbs"?</p>

We can track the lbs collected and numbers of people involved. Maybe we could talk David into adding a "Conservation" area of the forums???

This organization needs volunteers and donations. I think they have an organized effort with 19 years of experience:
