Notable Quotes (4)
I like to keep my kids engaged in the community. So, I reached out to City of Woodbury and I was very fortunate to get in touch with Ben and I said, 'Hey, Ben, you know, I'd like to have something for my kids to get engaged and involved for kids.'
people should know about storm drains cuz if you people don't know about them, they could just like dump like random things in the storm drains. It'll go into the lakes and like cause pollution which is really bad for the environments.
I think it's a great program. You know this should not waste the time and get kids out especially summer time. It's a fun program.
I've learned to be aware of the environment and encourage others to participate more responsibly it's a really fun program and you get to learn a lot from it and help the environment in at the same time.
