The Eco-Canoeist
Living On Earth contributor Sy Montgomery profiles Steve Nordlinger. This ex-Marine and martial arts expert has a secret life. He canoes Florida’s rivers, streams and lakes, removing everything from those plastic six-pack rings to boat toilets. The Eco-Canoeists’ weekly trash-collecting outings have inspired a unique following among residents and visitors to the Sunshine State.
