NYC Dept. of Environmental Protection Commissioner Carter Strickland speaks to teens from the Bronx River Alliance
NYC Dept. of Environmental Protection Commissioner Carter Strickland speaks to teens from the Bronx River Alliance about the department's efforts to reign in pollution with a pollution control device along the Bronx River in the borough of the Bronx in New York on Thursday, June 27, 2013. The litter control devices placed at strategic spots along the Bronx River collect tons of trash washed into the sewer system before the waste enters the Bronx River. Waste and trash discarded on the city's streets works its way into the harbor increasing pollution. The control devices have already caught of 10 tons of debris in the 18 months that they have been in operation. (© Richard B. Levine)
