a clean creek after the 10/10/10 Global Work Day

The photo is of a clean creek with only leaves in the water after the cleanup on 10/10/10 for 350.org's Global Work Party sponsored by Ben Lowe and the Friends of the Great Western Trails.

At the beginning of the day on 10/10 this section of the creek had 22 tires, a dishwasher, one large tank and too much trash. As of 10/12/10 it was still clean!

The creek parallels the Great Western Trail in Carol Stream, IL. This section is close to the intersection of Mantle and Burns. Special thanks to Ben Lowe for his support and to Jeremy Burke for extra help with hauling out the trash.
