WE NEED YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS TO HELP

Volunteers are the Solution


NO MATTER where it began, human hands and a human face lie behind every piece of garbage that ends up on our beaches. The responsibility for this worldwide problem does not belong solely to shipping companies, fishing fleets, and governments. Ultimately, some individual had to throw that trash overboard, into the street, down the toilet, or into the storm drain.

PEOPLE ARE THE PROBLEM, but people are also the solution. Marine debris is one pollution problem that individuals can solve by direct, individual action. The 30-Minute Beach Cleanup is about individual solutions to a global problem.

Volunteering at the 30-Minute Beach Cleanup is a great time to enjoy our beaches and the people that care about them. Spend 30 minutes making new friends, feeling the sunshine and helping to make our beach cleaner and safer.

The volunteers, who will meet on the beach at the end of Granada Ave. at Ocean Blvd., may either progress toward the Belmont Pier or the Peninsula.

VOLUNTEERS COMB
the beach for debris that fouls the sands and endangers aquatic wildlife. Individuals, organizations, school clubs and businesses are encouraged to help with this community effort.
