As part of the International Coastal Cleanup, members of Gulf High School's environmental club cleaned up Eagle Point Park in New Port Richey on Sept. 21, from 8 to 11:30 a.m.
Information from the club: "Members of the environmental club arrived at the designated park at 8AM. They proceeded to sign in for the cleanup and collect the necessary supplies: gloves, vests, bug spray, water, and garbage bags. Starting at the park gate, the members set out on the road to collect trash. Copious amounts of trash were collected by the members, resulting in many filled garbage bags. This continued until they reached the end of the road, where they turned back to make their way back to the park. Once back at the park, the members explored the park, observing the surrounding environment: trees, foliage, water, playgrounds, and boardwalks. At 10:45, it was time for the members who volunteered to pick up food from their two designated restaurants. Once they returned, a great feast commenced, resulting in many full stomachs and empty plates. After the meal, the event concluded and all dispersed."

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!

A CSX MOW truck has just finished trimming trees on the Cumberland Sub. The truck is in Cherry Run, WV. The far left track crosses the Potomac River and is the end of the Lurgan Subdivision (fromer WM). The track occupied by the truck is the low grade line, which follows the curvature of the Potomac River. The two tracks on the right are the High Grade line, which take a more direct route to Martinsburg, WV.
The Sheriff Homeless Outreach team is facilitating an encampment cleanup for a group of homeless people who volunteered to clean up along the Rio Hondo and a specific private property. The Army Corp of Engineers is supplying the dumpsters, and Sheriff is allocating them as needed. The lead person is a homeless veteran referred to as Joe, who organizes the group to clean in shifts and at their own pace. According to Deputy Rodney Gutierrez, this section of the Rio Hondo has been neglected allowing criminals to take refuge there amongst the homeless people. The outreach team is offering services to people there, and the local city police are patrolling the area more often.
