Pacifica Beach Coalition Teams up with National Day of Service
Thank you volunteers for giving back on Martin Luther King, Jr. and Barack Obama's National Day of Service! With the help of 200 volunteers, we removed 212 pounds of trash and 10 pounds of recyclables (3 bags) from Linda Mar State Beach and the surrounding parking lots. We also planted over 1000 dune plants on the north end of the beach and removed several tons of ice plant from a 900 sq. ft. area that we can plant next year. Never before has so much been done by volunteers at Linda Mar State Beach in one day!
Thank you for your help. We couldn't have done it without you! Please click on the link for more pictures and the full story on Pacifica Patch.

Invitation to Join Weekly Cleanup Continued...
This new year will bring even more floating debris on our beaches, as a result of the March 2011 Japanese earthquake and resulting tsunami, which released about 5 million tons of debris into the Pacific Ocean. For this reason, we applied for grant money to help our cleanup efforts.
We will be searching Pacifica & Daly City beaches for anything that hails from Japan, and filling out forms to submit to disasterdebris@NOAA.gov.
There is good news! Daly City Council has banned Styrofoam food containers from restaurants, as well as outdoor smoking in car parks. Furthermore, Pacifica will ban stores from providing plastic bags for Earth Day, April 2013. Eventually, we should expect to see less cigarette butts, Styrofoam food containers and plastic bags. Pacifica's fireworks task force is also working on changes to where fireworks may be lit.
Please come and support our weekly cleanups. You can bring some friends and family to help or meet new friends as you make a difference in 2013. Check out our Website for more information at www.pacificabeachcoalition.org. We can provide some gloves, buckets and tools, but you can help us become more sustainable by bringing your own gloves and tools.
