Leaven No Trace, charged with numerous crimes.

More than one man can handle. On December 13, 2015 Leaven No Trace was founded. Since then many rumor’s and accusations have been floating around, pending charges and a charge for Disorderly Conduct for cleaning up trash. An appeal has been excepted and would bombshell the community if he wins in the court of appeals. He has removed 182,000 pounds of trash and 5,329 tires and inspired many citizens to Act Today For Tomorrow. At first many thought it a noble cause and many citizens only wanted to help to ride the wave of attention for their own means. Others truly cared and other’s did not like the mess to be exposed. The many charges have slowed progress but not stopped it. If the charges are dropped or over turned, what then? A Nobel man with support turned criminal with no support then back to a Nobel man with support ? Will the lack of charges get the citizens to see his public service is needed? Will the ship jumpers decide to get back on board if his record is cleared? The work still needs to be done, the mess is being created daily. If this man doesn’t make it his full time job, who will take on the job? Criminal or Not, this community needs someone to clean it up before its on the news for being one of the trashiest places in Oregon. Who will look back and wish they helped and who will look back and know they helped Change Things For The Better?
