Save Ginnie Springs

[cardzard]

We would love to help but this is during INVADE THE KEYS and we are committed to be there sorry.

Ken maybe we could get Ginnie to do something like that when we have the next MEGA DIVE. I know we would have many who would pitch in then.
Good luck folks we will be there in spirt.

For those who haven't seen this website, it's worth a look. Rowdy college kids are probably a minor threat to Ginnie compared to what else is going on.

The most compelling video sequence (not on the site but on Wes Skiles' full video from a few years back) was divers entering a pristine spring, swimming through a cave and surfacing in an illegal garbage dump. Kind of drives the point home.

As a college partier , who doesn't go to school in Florida:ice: I have some suggestions that y'all could use in addition to your clean up efforts!

Make recycling and trash bins more accessible. Chances are, there's a person amoungst the partying crowd who will not want the trash in the car and look for a place to get rid of it! If recycling and trash bins are closer, that might eliminate some of the trash.

Maybe get some wood, nail together a box with a circular hole and put a plasic bag inside... That way there'd be a method to solving the problem, and the kids would be more willing to get rid of the party of the night before better than they had before?

The place in question is a commercial park, with a decent array of trash cans available. Most of the trash that doesn't make it to the trash cans gets picked up by park employees. The problem is the river that everyone likes to tube down, usually with a six pack with them. After drift diving the river just one time, you realize that the majority of the beer bottles are dropped in the river, instead of being taken back to shore. Thanks for trying to offer up ideas though.

Is that "Ben" a reference to me? First off, do not call me by name in public, it's OBG or Sir, your pick. Secondly, I cannot assist in the cleanup, remember, I was recently assumed to be a college student, therefore I would be forced to dump trash, not pick it up, evidently.

btw, ScubaBabe22, I need verification of your screenname, PM me ASAP. Thank you.
