Three years ago I began tracking water quality (ie. nitrogen and oxygen levels) in Little Bay for the Buzzards Bay Coalition. While giving me something to DO about climate change and pollution it still bothers me that this is one of the few programs (for 30 years now) that keeps track of this problem. This is precisely why there is now a push to clean up our mess. If not for hundreds of volunteers we would be literally suffocating in our own excrement had not government been forced to step in. And if despite that nothing is done we will be buried in our own shit. So much for individuals doing it on their own. It really does take community.
