To beat the extreme heat today in Pittsburgh I kayaked mostly shaded Pine Creek. Dug 22 pounds of trash out of the mud including an aluminum bat, vintage glass bottles, various plastics and loads of sharp broken glass. Don't step barefoot into a river or creek, trust me👌

I'd drive past this mess a couple times a week along Woods Run Ave in Pittsburgh and today I decided to spend an hour to finally clean it up. 2.5 bags of litter, 67 plastic bottles + ♻️ to improve about 100 total yards of roadside. Multiple people stopped to say 'Thank you'🤝

One of the bottles dug out of the Pine Creek mud yesterday was from 'Crescent Bottling Co.' Never heard of this brand before, but apparently they had a production plant in Pittsburgh until 1983...so this is a super cool, vintage find!🌙⭐️

When a car's wrecked, does it sit on the side of our roads for years, decades? Of course not. But when a boat sinks, we seem to throw up our hands and say, oh well🤷‍♂️ Why are we unable(or unwilling) to hold the boat owner accountable for removal?

Low water levels this spring on Pittsburgh's Ohio River reveal all kinds of abuse. Probably 30 to 40 tires stuck in the mud in this section alone(+ trash cans & barrels). I was able to remove 12 of those tires today.

On today's hike in Pittsburgh's North Park I passed this secluded and trashed out grove. Finished my hike, drove to the nearest access spot 100 yards away & cleaned up the mess. Beer cans, dog poo bags, and water bottles...even when surrounded by nature, people just don't care.

65 pounds of trash removed from Pittsburgh's Ohio River today. I planned on kayaking, but the water levels are so low that I simply walked off the launch site and cleaned up about 150 yards of shoreline by foot. 2 bags of litter, 58 plastic bottles & a broken dinosaur bucket

Removed my 525th bag of litter from Clearwater's Stevenson Creek today. That includes over 11,000 plastic bottles & over 10,000 pounds of trash removed from just 1 mile of creek since May 2022. Seeing this creek cleaned up & transformed has been worth every second of hard work

It's amazing how clean the Allegheny River is 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. A 9 mile downstream kayak yesterday and I was only able to remove a hubcap, part of a hose, some aluminum cans + extras. Stopped to enjoy the water running off the mountain.

Yesterday I pulled a sleeping bag & blanket out of the mud. Two other sleeping bags are still stuck in the mud in just a 20 yard area. This location was home to a large encampment along Pittsburgh's Ohio River removed last fall and the damage to our rivers is often significant.

As I was paddling Pittsburgh's Pine Creek today and seeing almost no trash, I had a feeling there had to be a bottleneck somewhere upstream🤔. Sure enough, downed trees created a natural barrier💡across the creek corraling softballs & plastic bottles.

After removing those 12 tires yesterday, I spent an hour cleaning up this shoreline on Pittsburgh's Ohio River. 95 heavy pounds of trash paddled out, 2 full bags of litter, 52 plastic bottles, a garbage can & a muddy bucket filled with other random junk. An endless mess.

The trashed out scenes on Pittsburgh's Ohio River just never end. Here's a look at a small 10 yard section I kayaked upon today. 2 bags of litter including 64 plastic bottles removed + a broken plastic chair & an inflatable raft. 27 pounds in total.

Dug this vintage Iron City Beer can out of Pittsburgh's Ohio River today. This can has clearly been out there for decades...unfortunately, it was full of mud, not beer🫤

Scenes like this are commonplace on Clearwater's Stevenson Creek. High tide pushes all of our litter into mostly hidden and often hard to access areas where it simply builds over time. My kayak allows me access to these hard to reach spots. Another full bag of trash removed today

I reported the mess under the Betty Lane bridge. The City cleaned it up and now took the extra step to guarantee this never happens again by digging out the area underneath the bridge preventing a recurrence. A huge win to reduce trash on Stevenson Creek! Thank you City of Clearwater, FL!
