6	Trash Paddler How many times have you been to the rivers edge and seen garbage? Sadly, it is a common affair. One we can do something about. In fact Suasco Al is doing something about it. He also calls himself the Trash Paddler and he runs this blog dedicated to his time cleaning up the trash on the river, rather then simply paddling past it. His blog is insightful and entertaining. I recommend a look and hope he might inspire some of us to do our parts out there.	439
