(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - About 80 employees of Procter & Gamble helped took to the banks of the Ohio River near Lawrenceburg Wednesday, picking up thousands of pounds of litter.
P&G was participating in the cleanup effort with an organization called Living Lands and Waters. LL&W is led by 2013 CNN Hero of the Year honoree Chad Pregracke, his wife Tammy, and their crew who live aboard a floating garbage barge.
You may have seen the barge was stationed on the river at Lawrenceburg as teams of P&G employees spread out to pick up trash items ranging from oars to tires to tents.
“This is the height of the P&G year for me,” said employee Fredrica Lawlor.
Scott Bennett also looks forward to the river cleanup every year.
“It’s such a great event. I’ve had the pleasure of doing this for all four years P&G has been involved with Living Lands & Waters,” said Scott Bennett.
Julie Desylva, P&G community impact communications manager, said the cleanup is one of just many ways the company gives back to the communities where employees live and work.
