California Coastal Cleanup Day is Saturday, Sept. 21
Living near the ocean is a big reason so many people love Ventura County. This weekend, local residents have the opportunity to give back to Mother Nature and show their appreciation for the beaches and oceans everyone enjoys year-round.
Saturday, Sept. 21 is California Coastal Cleanup Day. From 9 a.m. to noon, residents will visit beaches, rivers, streams and other waterways to pick up trash, using their own plastic bags or buckets. Much of what is picked up can be recycled. Volunteers will remove debris from the coast, creeks, rivers, lakes and shorelines all around California, protecting wildlife from harm while cleaning up the environment.
Last year in Ventura County, 3,346 volunteers collected 9,077 pounds of trash and 1,893 pounds of recyclables. The 1993 Guinness Book of World Records recognized California Coastal Cleanup Day as the world's largest beach cleanup! It's a great way to get the kids involved too, and teaches everyone an important lesson about littering and preventing pollution.
Visit www.VCCoastcleanup.org for a list of local cleanup sites and more information about this annual event that has many sponsors, including Whisenhunt Communications client Harrison Industries.
