California Coastal Cleanup Day This Sat., Sept. 20
California Coastal Cleanup Day is this Saturday, September 20, 2008.
This Saturday, September 20, 2008, is the 24th annual California Coastal Cleanup Day. Cleanup events are taking place throughout the state and it’s not too late to volunteer. For a map of event sites, go to http://www.coastal.ca.gov/publiced/ccd/ccd2.html and contact an event coordinator for directions. There are more than four cleanup locations in the San Francisco Bay Area alone (which is good that we have so many volunteers; bad that we have so much trash to clean up!).
Last year, according to organizers, more than 60,000 volunteers collected more than 900,000 pounds of trash and recyclables. For an eye-opening look at the trash that collects in our nation’s waterways, see the San Franciso Chronicle’s excellent photo essay: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/c/a/2008/09/18/MN7K12V9PJ.DTL&o=

I’d prefer to take into consideration the likelihood of thanking you for the professional guidance I have constantly enjoyed browsing your website. I will be looking forward towards the unique commencement of my school homework and also the complete groundwork would never have been total without having dropping by this web-site.
