Weekend in LA
This weekend from 9 AM - noon is the California Coastal Cleanup.
From Tom Galassi of healthebay:
Last year, in Los Angeles County alone, 10,292 volunteers collected 92,626 lbs OF TRASH and 2,682 lbs OF RECYCLABLES in just three hours! Coastal Cleanup Day is not only about trash. It’s also about clean water—the need for clean oceans, shorelines, and waterways. The cleanups are from 9:00am – 12:00 noon.
Visit our website www.healthebay.org/ccd/info for more information, including a listing of cleanup sites and waivers.
The majority of junk they pick up is almost always cigarette butts.
With all the dry sagebrush and forest fires every year, it astounds me that so many people toss their still-lit butts out their car windows. But fire season aside, all those butts get washed right to the ocean. Living by the beach is a magical thing. So come and volunteer some time helping keep it clean.
What’s to lose? 50 tons of trash!
After that, get over to check out Banksy’s just-opened LA show. Fantastic stuff…..
