X-Stream Cleanup

Recently, the annual Xstream Cleanup event once again dredged up tons of trash from the Mississippi. A barge loaded with the garbage was tied of at the Oneida Street landing Sunday, so we stopped to shoot a few pics. Yucky! Follow this link to an article on the event--take a look at the stats at the bottom of the article to see just how mush mess they removed.

Junk, trash, garbage, etc.
Notice how the tugboat has been "decorated" with bits & pieces of "found art". And don't miss the "babies" tied to the crane basket to the left!

Follow this link to Living Lands and Waters, a group founded by Chad Pregracke, who started the whole Xstream Cleanup several years ago.
