Blake Cauthen is receiving the Riverkeeper Award for 2019 Volunteer of the Year. Blake began volunteering with CRBI in 2019 and although he’s only been with us for one year, he proved himself to be one of our most dedicated volunteers in that short time. He is dependable, flexible, and always has a positive attitude!
We can’t wait to be able to reschedule our Riverkeeper Awards so we can properly thank our 2019 water heroes for all of their hard work!

In case you’re using baby wipes as a TP alternative during this shortage, remember not to flush! They wreak havoc on sewer and septic systems.

We’re thrilled to see the Georgia Senate pass HR

We’re thrilled to see the Georgia Senate pass HR 164 which will allow for the General Assembly to dedícate funds for tire and hazardous waste cleanups.
Final hurdle: GA voters will vote on it in November!

Huge thanks to Sen. Chuck Hufstetler and @lt.governorduncan for their leadership in the Senate. And none of this would have been possible without the steady leadership from the late Rep. Jay Powell.

Let’s tackle some plastic pollution!

Enjoyed the opportunity to testify before the Senate Economic Development and Tourism Committee in support of SB 280 from @senatordjames - a bill that would begin to phase out single use plastic bags in GA. It’s a good incremental step that even companies like @krogerco are voluntarily getting behind.
