Original Toronto Star caption: Garbage by the bag: Students in Grades 12 and 13 at North Toronto Collegiate have cleaned up the east branch of the Don River for the past three years; planting trees to halt erosion and provide food and shelter for the animals who make their homes nearby. The idea of cleaning up Metro's rivers isn't new as this 1971 photograph; taken on the Rouge River; shows.
