Do any of you do "Beach or river side" clean-ups????

Question

If you do,what state or body of water??? x*x

Answer 1

I live in Riverside, and sometimes I pick trash up off the street....does that count?

Answer 2

we did 3 years ago with all of the schools ,some citizens and even the army lend a hand .

we took kids from one town to go to the next to help there and so on hitting five towns

so everybody ended up helping another town

it was covered by the local media ,and we ended in the lagoons at the beach ,where all the trash ends up that is dumped on the edges of the river of the towns we cleaned

we collected over 40 tons of trash

had trucks and tractors helping us and quite a few launches

the operation took 6 months to plan

but now 3 years later

all is back to the same state

the Adult population does not care

and continues dumping trash by the river

this is Guerrero in Mexico,

we cleaned the riversides and lagoons and beach of the Atoyac river,

and also cleaned the main streets in the towns .

People came out and gave money ,food and drinks to the kids who were cleaning.

We still clean the river sides in front of the place where i live

periodically

Answer 3

Yeah, I'm in my school's environmental club and we get emails from the I Love a Clean San Diego group.  So we go to a lot of their cleanups-we help clean up the beaches and sometimes Lindo Lake Park (it's a small park with a small lake in a small town, but it gets trashed).

So yes, I do at least a couple of cleanups a year, and I pick up trash whenever I see it anyways.

Answer 4

There's an organization called Heal The Bay, if you're interested in beach clean-up and live in Southern California.

Answer 5

Me & few eco-friendly friendly clam diggers help clean up NY waters but some times the town n state refuse to dipose of the bagged trash,so we let loose on them comes election day,thats called pay back.Clean it up or watch your beautiful area's turn into a landfill.

Answer 6

Yes...  I just wish that we had the resources and joint desire to do more about the heavy rain sewer overflow in this very old City of Cumberland, MD..  

When we get too much rain at once (several inches in a couple of hours), there is no place for it to go but directly into the Potomac River.  I can clean up along the River but what to do about that?  Arg!

Answer 7

Every time I walk along the beach I clean it up.   Mostly in Maine on the ocean.

Answer 8

Hi! two weeks ago i went to a beach, i picked up rubbish which was floating on the sea water and also the beach. but i was the only one doing it. it is sad.  in my opinion, if you feel like cleaning up the beach, just go and clean it. there is no need to announce to public that you are cleaning up the beach. just telling. hehe.
