This video from iReport on CNN (posted by orcasisle) is an inspiration for all of us about keeping our waterways and communities clean. Ray Wheeler kayaks down the Jordan River in Salt Lake City, UT, collecting trash as he paddles. In addition to his message about pollution on the river, he sends a bigger one about acting locally and taking responsibility for issues in your own community.
You may wonder what this has to do with Fisherville, KY. Well, much of Fisherville and the surrounding areas are part of or connected to the Floyd's Fork Watershed. It is our responsibility to keep it clean, not just by keeping our own trash out it, but by helping to clean up the trash that is already there.
In the next 5 years, we will see the development of a major park system along the Floyd's Fork waterway. It is our responsibility to assure that trash receptacles are provided and are maintained appropriately so that trash doesn't make its way into the water. It is our responsibility to speak up when a problem arises with trash and to help keep our community clean.
If we all do our part, Floyd's Fork and the greenway will be beautiful, clean, and safe for everyone.

Took me a long time to figure out how to get the iReport video to not play on load of the page. For future reference, if it has a /0& on the end of the video URL in the Object tag and the Embed tags, you change that to a /1& instead!
