Clean Water Virtual Scavenger Hunt: Question 3
With yesterday’s question, we learned how to use the site to learn about how to make use of LA Stormwater’s community programs. If you haven’t answered question one or two yet, it’s not too late to go back and participate! Now, for the last clue of our Clean Water Virtual Scavenger Hunt, can you relink something from three years ago? We know you can!
In 2009
I had this to say,
“It takes a village…
To clean-up LA.”
I had to speak out
So we could embark
To clean up the trash
That filled Echo Park.
I founded a program,
that you now call TAP,
And talked with the city
To give a recap.
The lake’s Lotus Flowers
Had withered away.
From all of the filth
that’s dumped every day.
So I gathered the people
With help from LA,
along with its partners
just like Heal the Bay.
We made a big difference,
And know you can too
So search for my story
to learn what to do!
What is my name,
and where is the link?
Read my interview now
And say what you think.
Hint: Use the Search box to search the blue highlighted terms above and check our Facebook page for an additional hint.

Ida Talalla’s passion and commitment is something we all can aspire too! I love that we can participate in the “Team Effort!” To do our part we can volunteer for Clean-up Events and be responsible for our waste! Ida say’s “Get involved as it’s our community near or far. A litter-free society is an achievable goal if we commit to recycle, reuse and dispose of trash responsibly.” What an amazing cause that so many volunteers and organizations are contributing too!
