Mike Scotland lives in Aberdeen, Scotland. He struggles with sadness. One day he gathered trash at the River Don. He made a friend. The two enjoyed cleaning together. Mr. Scotland started “Community cleanUP.” Volunteers cleaned the land around the river each week. They gathered 30,000 pounds of litter. Now otters swim upstream for the first time in 40 years. A storm washed up much garbage last year. Mr. Scotland spent weeks asking volunteers to help. About 350 people removed more than 400 bags of waste.
