It was encouraging to read about a concerted effort to beautify Chicago’s rivers and make them pristine to enable fish, mammals, reptiles and other creatures to thrive in accommodating aquatic habitats. This environmental endeavor can have ecological, financial and recreational benefits if it actualizes. The fact that Friends of the Chicago River are involved in the plan gives it added credibility. Lake Michigan and Chicago’s rivers are natural treasures that should be cherished instead of being blemished.
