From the Bottom Up: One Man's Crusade to Clean America's Rivers by Chad Pregracke
Working and playing in the mighty muddy waters of the Mississippi River, Chad Pregracke grew more and more frustrated by the trash tossed carelessly into the waters. He decided to clean up the river and, with hard work, persistence and personal conviction, proved that one person can make a huge difference. His inspiring book prompts discussion of many topics, including pollution, volunteerism and personal responsibility for ecological concerns.
