Coastal Cleanup this weekend

INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP, SATURDAY 9/19This Saturday 9/19 is the Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup, the largest volunteer effort of its kind. Since 1986, volunteers in more than 125 countries have picked up millions of pounds of trash on one day each September.
The International Coastal Cleanup is more than a one-day effort to clean up marine debris. It's a year-round effort to keep trash from getting into the ocean in the first place. The Ocean Conservancy uses the marine debris data to help raise awareness, inspire cleanups, and shape policy decisions.
For additional information about the International Coastal Cleanup, and to sign up to be volunteer, visit OceanConservancy.org.
FACT: 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.
