The Portland Surfrider Chapter is proud of its ongoing partnership with the City of Portland on Green Streets, a program which aims to collect and dispose of trash on city streets and in particular in Portland's bioswales, collecting cigarette butts and other commonly littered items that may otherwise make their way into waterways and eventually the ocean.
Last week, local news station KATU ran a feature on the work we are doing and interviewed a series of people who are leading the effort, including Surfrider's very own Ian Kennelly who is a Green Streets steward and leads a group of volunteers in monthly cleanups.
