Heal the Bay's eighth annual Coastal Cleanup Education Day, a lead up event to Coastal Cleanup Day. Partners from Southern California Edison and National Geographic were on hand for a press conference unveiling teacher environmental literacy guides that cover the topics of fresh water, ocean, energy and climate change.
Approximately 700 elementary students from under served communities arrived at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium for environmentally focused games, lessons and activities. These future environmental stewards--many of whom had never visited the ocean before--explored the beach, got up close and personal with the living species in the Aquarium touch tanks and even cleaned up the beach.
6 school groups collected 109 lbs. of trash and 5 feet of cigarette butts!

My travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 England.
On a drive through Poldhu on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall on a wet, cold summers day.
Poldhu is a small area in south Cornwall, England, UK, situated on the Lizard Peninsula; it comprises Poldhu Point and Poldhu Cove. Poldhu means "black pool" in Cornish. Poldhu lies on the coast of Mount's Bay and is in the northern part of the parish of Mullion.
Poldhu Point became the site of one of the main technological advances of the early twentieth century when, on 12 December 1901, a wireless signal was sent by Thomas Barron in Poldhu to St John’s, Newfoundland, and received by Marconi. The technology was a precursor to radio, television, satellites and the internet, with the earth station at Goonhilly Downs a nearby example.
In January 2016 Poldhu Cove was inundated with thousands of pink plastic bottles, brought onto the beach with successive tides. The National Trust said it believed a container had gone overboard from a ship, during the stormy weather.
The site is famous as the location of Poldhu Wireless Station, Guglielmo Marconi's transmitter for the first transatlantic radio message on 12 December 1901. Marconi received the transmission on Signal Hill, St. John's, Newfoundland. The station was built partly on cliff top pastures that had been enclosed in 1871 and partly on medieval fields belonging to a nearby settlement, Angrouse. The fifty acre (200,000 m²) plot was bought in 1900 and building work ran from October 1900 to January 1901. During the work two Bronze Age barrows were flattened and a bronze dagger and urn were recovered.

DB Lantern Festival Beach Cleanup
Sunday 4th October 9am
Every year, beaches in Hong Kong are covered with litter after the Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations. Large numbers of lanterns, candles and wax globs, glow-sticks, lighters, beverage bottles and food wrappers are left half buried in the sand. Not only is this rubbish ugly, but as the tide rises, a lot of it ends up in the ocean.
Rubbish in the ocean is one of the most widespread pollution problems we face, affecting all living creatures. Countless birds, dolphins, seals, and fish eat things they shouldn’t and many of them die. It can make the ocean more vulnerable to impacts from climate change, coastal development, and overfishing. It impacts local economies, seafood industries, and recreation, and reduces our access to beaches.
Every year, DB's very own Tai Pak Beach is covered with litter after the festival. At last year's cleanup, thousands of discarded glow-sticks, bottles and numerous other items were left in the beach
On the night of the festival HAVE FUN and think about USING LESS of items that are only used once- like lanterns and glowsticks, and even plastic bottles- maybe even MAKE YOUR OWN LANTERNS from your recycling at home! And when you leave don’t forget to TAKE YOUR RUBBISH off the beach and place in the recycle and rubbish bins provided on the promenade. The next day come and see for yourself what is left behind and do your part to help keep our beach clean, prevent marine pollution and protect the ocean.
Join TheWayToGo and DB Green for this year's annual 'Post-Lantern Festival' beach cleanup!
Date:Sunday, October 4, 2009
Time:09:00 - 13:00
Meeting place:Tai Pak Beach (under the trees, on the Water Margin side)
What to bring*: sunblock, a hat, a water bottle, lots of energy and enthusiasm!
All kids will receive a free beach cleanup crew T-shirt for helping out, and everyone is welcome to enjoy a celebratory post-cleanup barbeque at Hemingways!
*Gloves and rubbish bags will be provided. Drinking water will be provided for refilling your bottle.
