The
results are in, and September 15 was a huge success for the organizers
of Coastal Cleanup Day - and more important, for our beautiful and
unique California coastal environment.
Here are some inspiring stats. More than:
1,500 volunteers reported in for duty at the Ocean Beach cleanup location (including 150 Oracle employees and family members)
57,000 volunteers participated statewide
320 tons picked up, including
534,115 pounds of trash
105,816 pounds of recyclable materials
Remember: KEEP IT CLEAN! You
don't have to wait for the annual Coastal Cleanup Day to do your part.
The beaches, fish, mammals, birds, and your fellow human beings will
thank you.
Join us on September 15, when California's largest volunteer event -- Coastal
