Artist Sean Connaughty blames Pepsi, Coca-Cola, McDonalds and the Mars Corporation for Lake Hiawatha litter.

Minneapolis "(F)artist" Sean Connaughty

A Minneapolis man wants to send a strong message [Ohhh! Shssssh! We ALL must listen to this strongly sent message - DD.]  about the pollution problem at Lake Hiawatha, and he says multiple groups are to blame.

"I think we're all wrestling with how to address this problem," said Sean Connaughty, the primary artist for this project.

For the last 5 years, Connaughty has tried to solve the pollution problem on Lake Hiawatha.

This year, he and some volunteers removed 350 pounds of trash from the lake.

"The trash is coming from us in our community," Connaughty said.

After sorting through it, he decided to build pieces of art to show the public where the garbage is coming from. The top four companies are Pepsi, Coca-Cola, McDonalds and the Mars Corporation.

"I would love for them to step up and to contribute funding to treat the storm water for Lake Hiawatha," Connaughty said

All the litter must be from Republicans, Libertarians and Conservatives.
