Throughout his career, @riverkeeper's John Lipscomb has sailed infinite miles on the Hudson River, taken countless water samples to advance cleanup efforts, & through his work on documentaries, has spread his zeal for protecting our environment to people near & far.
Thank you for your support of this cleanup effort! @CMSusanZhuang 🌎🤝🌳
