Caption: HAZARDOUS-WASTE ROUNDUP: On a freezing Saturday in upper Michigan last month nearly 46 tons of household hazardous-waste materials--from old batteries and paints to pesticides--were collected by 125 churches and temples in a government-funded "Clean Sweep" drive in connection with Earth Day 2005. Shown here is Lottie Clark, 90, handing a waste container to Bill Rigby at the First Presbyterian Church in Marquette, Michigan, on April 23.
