Tremendous efforts have been made with regular roadside and shoreline cleanups organized by Lake Martin Resource Association

I have been asked many times about what makes me so committed in working for a litter-free environment. I usually respond that I was extremely impacted by a public service ad in the 1970s featuring the Native American with tears rolling down his cheek as he surveyed the littered environment of his ancestors. This is true; it brought tears to my eyes as well. There was also another experience.

Living in Montgomery in the 1990s as my working life became less demanding, I got involved with the local chapter of the Sierra Club. I enjoyed backpacking and all outdoor activities and developed some great relationships with other club members. I was not politically-minded and avoided the controversies that led some members to be known as “tree huggers.”
