i heard that there’s a group that takes in volunteer divers to go underwater and do cleaning / sampling. i’m not sure if this is true. are you aware of this?
jayvee,
not really sure if there’s such a group.
i must say while I appreciate the idea of carrying out small initiatives like this, i believe that what we really need now are bigger solutions. please read the following:

correct. what I do know is that that group is part of a bigger initiative. the name escapes me right now. it’s impossible to merely have people go down there and clean up the river. it’s also unhealthy.
jayvee,
yeah i can imagine how unhealthy that would be. imagine all the e coli in there and everything else.
Is it possible to bring back the “supot” (bag made of paper) rather than plastic bag?It will be a great help to minimize flooding.
last night i saw a news report about a store that sells fashionable bayongs. that should help encourage more people to go back to using those.
