All kids are RiverKidz.
That s the message that fills the airwaves at the environmentally minded rallies and events the RiverKidz nonprofit youth organization has hosted over the past 10 years.
It s a saying that inspires the collective goal of making a positive impact, said the group s director and Rivers Coalition board member Nic Mader. And now with a decade of advocacy under its belt, the group s fight for the future of Florida s rivers carries on. We always tell the kids, You have to have hope and you have to keep fighting, Mader said. You have to keep using your voice.

Fairfield environmental advocates are concerned about how a diversion proposal would affect the Mill River watershed. (Google Maps)
FAIRFIELD, CT Fairfield residents and representatives voiced environmental concerns Tuesday about a proposal to double the amount of water diverted from the local system, including Cricker Brook and the Mill River watershed, to towns such as Greenwich and Stamford.
Aquarion Water Co. has filed an application with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to increase its diversion permit from 7.3 million gallons per day to 14.2 million gallons per day from the Bridgeport water system to the county s southwest region. The permit would require an annual diversion average of 12.6 million gallons per day, would last 25 years and would see a pipeline added in Fairfield in 2029.
