"If the litter does make its way into our waterways, it's really not healthy for our wildlife that lives in the waterways," Stephanie Hatzenbihler, the environmental education specialist for the city of Rochester, said. The solutions are obvious. Don't litter in the first place by doing things like making sure all of your garbage is bagged. "A lot of times what happens is the wind kicks up and it blows our trash or recycling, and a lot of times this also actually happens in the back of our vehicles," Hatzenbihler said.
