Sisters brothers' cleanup campaign

Eight-year-old Hunter Blakelock and his five-year-old brother Cole have begun their own campaign to keep Sisters clean.

The brothers like to go on walks with their mother, Stephanie, their baby sister Brooke, Nana and her dog Spirit, along Highway 15. They like to play in the woods surrounding Crossroads where they live, but they are disgusted by the amount of trash apparently thrown out of car windows along the highway and dirt roads.

On their walks, they collect bags of soda cans, plastic bottles, paper cups, glass beer bottles broken on the road, car parts, fast food bags and wrappings, cigarette packs, and much to their parents dismay, used condoms.

Hunter says, "I really get mad at these people who don't care about the environment." The boys think the solution is for everyone to carry trash bags with them when they are walking and pick up after the inconsiderate, irresponsible slobs who litter our town.

"If I could find out who they are, I would dump the bags of trash where they live," Cole says. Nana says, "They better watch out; we have their DNA."
