DENVER—Today marks the 41st anniversary of Earth Day, and if you’re looking for something to do other than rubbing patchouli oil in your dreadlocks this weekend, go help clean-up the dirty South Platte.

Last year’s event attracted 250 volunteer rafters, kayakers, cyclists and pedestrians. “We successfully removed 1.5 TONS of garbage from the river and bike path. The event garnered local and regional media coverage on Fox News and 9 NewsTV channels, as well as appearing in the Denver Post newspaper. This was our largest turnout yet; we started at the Union Ave Put In, rafted, kayaked, biked and walked 6 miles of the S. Platte River and Bike Path finishing at Habitat Park.”

More information on tomorrow’s 5th annual event after the jump.
