Trash Free Potomac Watershed
Alice Ferguson Foundation - Non-Profit - trashfree.org
AFF's Trash Free Potomac Watershed Initiative seeks a Trash Free Potomac by 2013. A public education campaign is in-development to grab the attention of litterers and inspire them to change their behavior. Social marketing indicates that admitted litters of all ages and demographics respond to concerns about health, protecting their children, and cleanliness. Social marketing is essential to cost-effectively reaching the Potomac River Watershed's 6 million residents and important to the campaign's success, especially with teenage and young adult litters. The Initiative needs experts like Free Range to help create an anti-litter video capable of going viral.

Its a big watershed with a lot of trash. We need to spread the word and make people aware of the impact their carelessness has.

and don't flush pills down the toitet! Largemouth bass usually produce two kinds of these sickness-shielding proteins.After being exposed to estrogen, they reduced production of one type of the protein, and exposure to estrogen and bacteria completely blocked the production of the other. The researchers say this could explain why the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers seem to have the co-occurence of intersex fish, fish lesions and fish kills. link: http://www.nytimes.com/gwire/2009/06/04/04greenwire-study-links-estrogen-exposure-to-fish-kills-di-29535.html
