REI continues to support River Forum with new grant

In our efforts to connect people to the river, the River Forum has found a kindred spirit in REI. Said Carol Christensen, REI's community outreach coordinator, "We believe that stewardship and recreation do go hand in hand. People that are really involved in outdoor recreation recognize that without stewarding an area it won't be there anymore."

 

The River Forum is pleased to announce receiving a grant from REI. The grant will support volunteer restoration efforts at Stateline and Barker Road and the annual Upriver Scrub Cleanup. The grant also supports the Spokane Water Trail website, which is now visited by thousands of people.

C & H Foreign Auto a leader in environmentally friendly business practices

 

Spokane EnviroStars is pleased to recognize the five star certification of C & H Foreign Auto. Decades ago C & H President Ed Cushman recognized the importance of education in protecting our river and aquifer by helping guide businesses across the state to reduce their waste streams. For Cushman his motivation is simple: "I love where I live. I love clean water."

 

As a prominent member of Automotive Service Association (ASA) Northwest, Cushman helped instill practices which are now common such as recycling oil and antifreeze. In 1993 the ASA recognized Cushman as its member of the year. Today he utilizes and endorses actions such as switching to aqueous-based cleaning systems, implementing oil/water separators and shielding tires from rainwater. Read More.
