Dirty for Swain

Through my friends of
Giant Ant Media. I learned about their project
“Dirty for Swain”. A campaign designed to highlight the excellent activist work of
Christopher Swain, and his latest project: swimming 1,000 miles from Marblehead, Massachussets to Washington, D.C. The water quality conditions that he will have to endure are (from what I can read in the website) pretty bad, but the overall goal is to raise awareness of how much pollution we are releasing into our aquatic environment
I think this is a very worthy cause, and amongst the efforts to raise awareness, they are asking the question “what will you do for @swimwithswain” on Twitter. It’s a way of letting Swain know that he’s not alone in his quest to clean up rivers and polluted water bodies. So, go to the Dirty for Swain website and let him know what you’ll do to keep him motivated in his worthy project!
