    One of my favorite summer things to do is to pick up trash on the shores our Lake Eire.  Our sustainability team at Cleveland Clinic organizes events for the system a couple times a year but how many of you do this on your own?

    It's always good to pick up trash.  I most enjoy doing it around our beautiful lakes and rivers but this challenge sharpens my intent to do this important clean up work.
