It鈥檚 good for the environment.鈥听 Seth Cook, a biology graduate student and graduate assistant with the Emerging Analytics Center, was inspired to organize creek cleanup days after interning with the Sustainability Committee.听 鈥淲hen I was an intern in 2015, I got involved with the Keep Arkansas Beautiful Campaign,鈥 Cook said. 鈥淎fter my internship, I kept the connection and felt it was a good way for students to volunteer on campus.鈥听 It鈥檚 especially important to keep Coleman Creek clean because it empties into Fourche Creek. It鈥檚 considered the most important urban watershed in Arkansas, since the watershed drains and filters runoff from Arkansas鈥檚 capital city.听 鈥淚鈥檝e always had the sustainability mindset, especially since interning with the Sustainability Committee,鈥 Cook said. 鈥淭hese cleanup days are important because this is our one opportunity to catch trash in Coleman Creek before in empties into Fourche. Who knows where the trash will go after that?鈥
