This environmental challenge is an excellent idea! Thank you ViNA.
We live on the corner of 40th and Vincent Ave. N. One little thing I do is regularly clean out the storm sewer drains trying to keep leaves and trash from going into the Mississippi. I plan to do the stencils at each drain to inspire others to keep them clean.
Thanks Chris- this is fantastic! Don’t forget to come back on the 15th of September to enter the challenge. We are so happy to be in a community that stewards a healthy environment.
