Today is your day Boomer! Every now and again I feature a Boomer doing something incredible. Today, it is almost-Boomer Henry Wang and his group of about 20 people(some are Boomers!)from BC's Lower Mainland who scour the bottom of our lakes and clean up garbage. The group is called Divers For Cleaner Lakes and Oceans, and what do they find? According to The Province Newspaper, "Everything from parking street signs to park benches, from laptops, cell phocarts—all of it picked up by an underwater army." Henry says old beer cans is the number one item they find. Since 2013, how much garbage have they recovered? 27,000 kg....including some wierd things like a rusty E-bike! And I like this....Henry says "Going into a lake and using my scuba diving skills to remove trash isn’t something that everybody can do, which means that if I have the ability then I have the responsibility to act.” This guy is....simply....a civic hero. Thanks Henry and Co.. We need more people (like Boomers!) doing more helpful things like this. Cheers!
