Private citizens are using magnets and scuba gear to rid our waterways of unseen trash.
Litter can really spoil a scenic view.

In Detroit, people are using magnets to scoop up scrap metal, while a teenager in Toronto dives deep to pick up what others have left behind. Their efforts are making a difference.
