Could It Be?
Is it break up time yet? We have had such beautiful weather lately that I am hoping spring is here to stay. Suka and I have been going on walks down by the river. But, the other day, we decided to walk down by Pinky's Park and explore the boardwalk. There is so much trash around town! Pop cans, chip bags, plastic bags, everything you can buy from the AC store. Isn't there some kind of community event to clean up the town? On the last day of school, the classrooms go outside in the morning and clean up the school area. And, I think there has been a clean up crew on the highway... but other than that...? In my home state, prisoners (the non-murderous/violent kind) are able to walk along side roads and pick up trash. Are the prisoners in the Bethel jail able to do this? I have never seen them out in their orange suits. It could be there is not enough people to watch the prisoners along side of the road, or Bethelites might not prisoners in the "downtown" area no matter what they are doing for the environment. I guess it is an issue of safety... but, if other states do it...?... (yeah, I know, will we jump off the bridge too?).

there's an annual clean-up green-up that happens all month long. Have you seen the brightly colored trash bags left out along the highway in past years? Nobody runs it other than volunteers and a host(s) for each subdivision where you can ask for the bags. the city comes along and picks up the trash.
the prisoners at YKCC do do some volunteer cleaning work (for example, they clean some portions of the City of Bethel building free of charge) but I don't know about anything more than that...
