To the Editor:

Since 2007, the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed Association has teamed up with volunteers to pick up trash and debris near area lakes, rivers, and streams, removing more than 12 tons to date.

I hope that many in Princeton will join this year’s cleanup on April 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Turning Basin Park off Alexander Street.

Almost every day there seems to be a crisis related to water in the news. The majority of our waterways here in central New Jersey violate clean water standards for drinking, swimming, and fishing on a regular basis.

Together we can work to stem the tide of water pollution. By taking individual action to recycle and dispose of our trash properly, we can help to keep our water and environment clean and healthy.
