Cleaning up Cheney Lake: Protecting fish and fowl alike
This page has been archived.
My daughter and I went to Cheney Lake for some mother-daughter fishing time. After observing a couple of groups participating in some unethical fishing practices and possible over-fishing, I was pretty disgusted. We decided to clean up the fishing area.
Cheney Lake is a very popular, stocked lake, and the main fishing flat is littered with discarded fishing line. The lake is home to numerous ducks, geese, loons and grebes, so I am afraid that these birds may get tangled in the discarded fishing line.
Commanda not only helped clean the area, she mentored her daughter in doing the right thing.

Start earning points
To earn points as a tree hugger, you need to do something that is good for the environment. Recycling, joining a demonstration for clean air, going vegetarian or vegan. There are really a lot of good things that you can do to get points in this category.
You must report about what you have done for the environment by including your name, screen name, a write up of what you did and why, how it helps the environment, and the date that the action took place. Picture evidence is always good. You can also earn points by writing up things that you have learned about the environment or watching one of the approved YouTube videos and leaving an appropriate comment. Commanda earned 275 points for her Beachcombing video. Here is a list of articles on examiner.com. Leave a comment and let us know which article you left the comment. You will get points as long as the comment is relevant to the article and is nice. Write a short article and send it in, and you will get more points. We only have one world, and it is going to take all of us together to save it from the ravages of a profit driven society. Here is where you get to start making a difference. See the small print for point assignment. And yes, you can buy points if you want - 10% of the gross will benefit Tree Utah. |
