Kevin A, on DEFCON 2015.

Also, thank you for your efforts at our fall trash cleanup.  The Public Works Department gave these summary measures of the city-wide efforts:  "Over 620 pounds of litter was collected by A Litter Bit Better volunteers during the fall event. An estimated 1.179 volunteers picked up 64 sites that covered many locations around Rochester."  This was 12 loads of trash, removed from our environment!
