Ten Mile Creek Litter April 2020

This same section of creek has been cleaned three times in the past. This is the stretch of the creek from the Village of Ten Mile to West Beth township. There is MUCH more garbage along the banks than you see here. Polyurethane foam is commonly used in couch cushions. It is a product of the petroleum industry. It comes in various grades which determine the number of years of wear and firmness.  Please visit this site to learn about the break-down of foam: http://sleeplily.com/mattress-materials-toxic-chemicals/

Please discuss the effects of littering with your kids. Education starts at home first. Help keep our creek and roadways clean.
