Coastal Cleanup Day

A friendly reminder that you have one more day to register and be part of the action!

September 19th, 2009 is the

24th annual International Coastal Cleanup Day…

“Last year’s Cleanup, nearly 400,000 volunteers collected more than 6.8 million pounds of trash in 100 countries and 42 US states — the largest volunteer effort of its kind.

The Cleanup is crucial in determining  the impact ocean trash has on wildlife and how it correlates with global warming. Each year the report is compelling:

Of the 43 items tracked during the Cleanup, the top three items of trash found in 2008 were cigarette butts, plastic bags, and food wrappers/containers.

Get out there if you can this year and help. Be part of the largest volunteer effort…

There is a possibility that we may be attending the event in Ventura…but it’s not set in stone. If you can’t get involved this year, remember that it falls on the 3rd Saturday of each September!!

Will definitely keep you posted.  Have a great weekend! 

What about YOU? Will you be volunteering to cleanup?
