Freeport, Bahamas -
Bush fires are prevalent in Grand Bahama, and after one burns itself
out, the usual sight, aside from the charred shrubbery and pine trees is
an abundance of trash, mainly bottles which have been tossed from
vehicles traveling down the roads.

A concerned citizen, Cathy
MacLeay has taken the initiative to do something about it, and along
with her own two children and a couple of their friends went out on
Sunrise Highway donned with gloves one Saturday to pick up the trash.
That first time they picked up 40 feet of bags of trash. This attracted the
attention of those passing by, and word got out, and the following week
the small group grew exponentially as a crew of divers from UNEXSO
joined the force along with other residents and friends.
