I wonder what kind of group could be put together to fight for this cause (cleaning up the rivers). I know there are lots of boy & girl scout groups, church organizations, etc. who would probably love to get involved in some cleanup days/projects. It would also be helpful to get some people together to go to City Council meetings (generally on Tuesday evenings) and talk about legislation and other ways of accomplishing this goal. Water seems to be a very important part of most successful cities. We have the water, it just needs to be taken care of.
The more we as citizens put into caring for the rivers, the more support we are likely to get from the powers that be (city gov., etc.) because they will see that it is something that really matters to us.
