About Me

My name is Melanie Cheney. I've been living and working on the Missouri River since about 2002 with a group called Missouri River Relief. Since then, the community and river have taught me much, and I've grown very passionate about reducing my "plastic" footprint. I have yet to become extreme about it (depending on who you ask), but I would like to continue to reduce the amount of single-use plastics we use in our everyday lives and help lessen the enormous impact plastic pollution is taking on our streams, rivers, oceans and its wildlife (including us!). I hope this blog will help!
