A Day in the Life of the Anacostia River

Friday, July 1, 2011 - 12:54pm

 

June 30, 2011

It was just another day on the Anacostia River yesterday.

A day full of contrasts and contradictions, beauty and betrayal, grand gestures and every day needs.

Here's just some of what happened yesterday on the River ... some of which happens only on certain days, some of which happens more days then it should, and some of which happens quietly everyday - whether anyone notices or not.

Activists and elected officials hold a press conference for clean water on the River's shore and risk their health to highlight the health of the River (watch the video)

A fisherman fishes downstream of the leak as well

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kids board a boat to learn about the River

We’re filing a motion today,

We’re filing a motion today, with Anacostia Watershed Society and represented by NRDC, to intervene in the lawsuit. The proposed settlement is not in the public interest, and Pepco should be ordered to do more to clean up this serious pollution problem that everyone acknowledges exists. We also want to guarantee that the local communities that are most affected by this contamination have an opportunity to provide meaningful feedback into the cleanup process jimmy choo \ jimmy choo shoes | jimmy choo uggs | jimmy choo outlet
