Fighting sewage pollution
 Every year, more than 850 billion gallons of raw or partially-treated sewage is dumped into the waters where we fish, swim and play. Astonishingly, there is no nationwide requirement for public notification of sewage spills and overflows -- placing you at risk of coming in contact with disease-causing pathogens.
To raise awareness about the issue, the Act for Healthy Rivers Slog (sewage + blog = slog) features stories from activists fighting sewage pollution in their communities and weekly recaps of sewage spills from across the nation. Read the Slog at www.healthyrivers.org/slog.

Our Pick: Above Veil Limited Edition Poster
 Greg McFadden, river runner and landscape artist, paints plen aire -- from life on the river. His Above Veil captures the natural beauty of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. This vintage poster was created while McFadden was anchored on the river near the Elk Bar rapid, well-known among whitewater rafting enthusiasts.
