The fact that the weather is warmer means more people are going outside and being active. Although it is great that people utilize our parks and bike paths, there is a downside to recreation. Many of the parks and rivers are becoming more polluted. The paths are littered with debris, and although it's not so bad now, it will get worse. By the summer Nomahegan Park is a hotspot for litter. People need to do their part to keep our parks clean. If you're carrying a water bottle as you walk/run/ride your bike, then be sure to recycle it when you get home. If you have garbage, hold on to it until you get to a garbage, whether in the park or at your house. Also, if you see litter, try to clean it up or transport it to the nearest garbage can or recycling bin. Everyone needs to do their part in order to keep our parks clean.
