Loren Floto and his daughter, Aimee Floto, pose with the pickup truck load of recyclable metal their group hauled out of the Rock River as it passes through Rockton. Their volunteers keep increasing in number every year. His facebook page says he was a “farm boy, became bilingual in the ’60s, a teacher in the ’70s, environmental activist and fair trade advocate now.” We all thank him for all he does so well.
