Earlier this year, the Franklin Township Environmental Commission was contacted by Rutgers Prep senior student, Christian Wright. Christian contacted us because he noticed that during the pandemic our environment became increasingly more polluted not only with the typical single-use items but also with personal protective equipment (PPE) that came with the pandemic, such as face masks and gloves. As the Rutgers Prep campus is located near the Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park and the Raritan River, the Franklin Environmental Commission suggested Christian and his team start the cleanup with the D&R Canal towpath adjacent to the school campus. This area is experiencing pollution from littering.
