A favorite place for many Baton Rougians to walk is around the LSU Lakes.  During the time that the lakes were being drained and dredged I was struck by the amount of trash at the bottom of the lake that had become visible.  It was such a sharp contrast to the grace and beauty of the wildlife that lives there.  I couldn't help but think of the irony of nature providing humans with a peaceful and beautiful landscape and humans main contribution to nature was to trash their home.  I felt like if the birds could speak to us, they would tell us that “This is My Home” and I love it. Please keep it safe and clean.
