I'm really not opposed to any of this except for the propagandizing of the kids.
I think animals should be well taken care of (as should people), and I think cleaning up around the river is a good idea; however, the fact that it comes from the divisive, racist, anti-Muslim, agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Zionist War Daily does make me question their motives and intentions on this or any other issue.
"Interfaith group unites for environment; Young people lead cleanup near the Charles River" by Taylor Adams, Globe Correspondent | April 19, 2010
The group of volunteers, of different faiths and backgrounds, was one of several that branched off from a meeting of more than 100 people yesterday morning.
They were taking part in the third annual Day of Interfaith Youth Service, an event that draws area youths from diverse backgrounds to work on service projects throughout the city, all of which relate to issues of homelessness and the environment. Christians, Jews, and Muslims, as well as some who described themselves as interfaith, volunteered at Boston-area shelters, soup kitchens, and other places that support the needy, and also by canvassing for awareness of environmental issues around Boston.
Alexander Levering Kern, executive director of Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries, a main organizer of the event, and a Protestant chaplain at Brandeis University, said the day of service was an opportunity for the youth of Boston’s diverse religious communities to learn from one another and about one another’s faiths, specifically regarding what each teaches about service....
He added that part of the goal of the interfaith events was to heal faith divides that have provoked unrest, such as a recent uproar over construction of a mosque, the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, in Roxbury Crossing, said Kern....

Yeah, SEE WHO is CAUSING all the TROUBLE?
Earth Day, which will be celebrated Thursday, motivated the Charles River cleanup, he said.
“I enjoy helping the geeses [sic] and I enjoy helping the earth,’’ said Jennifer Brown, 9, who was at the event with a small group from Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Jamaica Plain.
Hey, I don't mind the young girl having what looks like fun, 'kay?

I'll bet the geese were honking, 'eh?
Anyway, I simply question the motives of a newspaper that supports earth-destroying, polluting, and contaminating wars (and the war machine that does it), as well as the self-serving sports interest in things like baseball and NASCAR.
It tells me they are NOT REALLY SERIOUS about the issue, and thus it is simply one more agenda-pushing PoS that they endlessly promote!
Former longtime Boston news anchor Liz Walker, now a minister who works with youth at Bethel, said that she was impressed with the younger generation’s knowledge of environmental issues.
Oh, I was wondering what happened to her (she left when I was still watching TV news).
“It’s nice that this generation gets it, and is trying to make a difference,’’ she said.
Translation: Hers f***ed up, kids.
And I apologize for that.
I'm sorry we are leaving you such a s***ty planet.

I wish they were trying to make a difference by protesting the wars, lies, or lootings, but....
