Living Lands and Waters and American River Transportation Company collaborated to clean up part of the Illinois River on Tuesday morning. With multiple locations throughout the Mississippi River basin, both organizations demonstrate how important it is to make an effort to clean the river.
Tammy Becker started the operation in 2019 with her husband, Chad Pregracke, the man behind Living Lands and Waters. It was her job to dispose of plastic recovered from rivers, but few places were willing to take it.
The workshops are through Living Lands & Waters and aims to teach students about job opportunities available through the Mississippi River.
"All you need to do is change your world. That's how the world changes." - Chad Pregracke
