Over 60 City College students initiated a beach cleanup at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea today. Nearly a dozen local residents joined the students in removing several hundred pounds of trash and garbage from the sand and sea grass. By doing this, the students restored the environment and protected humans and wildlife from harm.
While gathering and planning the cleanup under the pavilion, the students' professionalism and commitment drew comments from onlookers. Many bystanders complimented the students, asking for information about them and City College.
The next beach cleanup will be Saturday, June 18th at 8:30am followed by an end of term Beach Party.

Green Fins - Beach, Community and Reef Cleanup on White Beach, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines
The Reef-World Foundation, supported by many partners and friends, held a Clean Up Event last Wednesday on the 2nd February 2011 on White Beach in Puerto Galera, a popular diving destination in the Philippines.
The event was managed by Reef-World, sponsored by Marco Vincent Dive Resort and supported by Guli Divers – two new Green Fins Dive Centres. Clean Up events are incredibly effective at firstly removing damaging litter from the natural environment, but also to raise awareness of the negative impact litter can have on marine life. The Reef-World staff held a training session with the participating dive centre staff the night before the event to let people know how best to collect rubbish without damaging the environment and how plastic can harm marine life, such as plastic bags being ingested by marine turtles and cetaceans which will ultimately kill them.
The event was also hugely supported by the Local Government Unit with the Barangay (Village) Captain and the SIBROA, San Isidro Beach Resort Owners Association helping to promote the event and encourage the participation of the local community and make sure the rubbish was collected and removed responsibly. This included the various Associations including the Banka (Boat) crews, The Vendors Association and the local Beach Masseuse Association as well as representatives from The Puerto Galera Municipal Employees Cooperative known as PGMECO, came along and got their hands dirty.
Over 80 people gathered on the beach during the cool morning hours and worked hard to remove rubbish from along the beach and in the surrounding village. A big effort was made to explain how this will have a positive impact on the local environment, and the implications this will have on the livelihoods of the local people. A group of 9 divers from Marco Vincent Divers and Guli Divers then cleaned up a local reef which catches a lot of rubbish being washed out of a river close by.
The stakes were raised as 1,000 pesos was awarded to the participant who managed to guess what the total weight of rubbish collected from land over the course of the day was. The final weight was 340.25 kg (including the underwater cleanup) and the prize money was awarded to Ms. Venancia Viena from the PGMECO. At the end of the day all the rubbish was moved to the back of the beach and was then collected by the rubbish truck from SIBROA to be disposed of responsibly.
Reef-World would like to especially thank, Captain Genaro S. (Ohrie) Bunquin from Barangay Isidro, Marlon G. Albo from Marco Vincent Diver Resort, Lisa from Guli Divers, Joel from the SIBROA and Erwin from Leynlies Beach Resort and all the Associations and the general public for all their help and support.

An unplanned part of a college tour. A student had dropped the wrong chemical in the wrong place, and emergency crews were out. It reminds me of some of my worst fears in chem lab as a college freshman. This never happened, but I always worried that it would, somehow!

Friday night lights at Raider stadium provide a Saturday morning fundraiser for the Richmond soccer teams. Instead of the echo of fans cheering their team you can hear coach Bennie Howard's encouragement, "If it's not a piece of popcorn or a peanut shell pick it up!" Howard and players meet at 8:00 am every Saturday following a home football
game to clean the stadium and parking lots. "It's much better than selling doughnuts." said Howard as the players filled dozens of trash bags. Following the cleanup session the players head to the opposite side of campus for soccer practice.

Volunteers are needed! We can certainly use volunteers of all ages and ability to help us cleanup our community, the environment and the Chesapeake Bay! Please mark your calendars for our cleanup of the Historic Bread and Cheese Creek on Saturday, April 2, 2016 at 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Rain or Shine, we clean up the section of Historic Bread and Cheese Creek from the Berkshire Area to North Point Road. Registration will be at 2408 Plainfield Road, Dundalk, MD 21222. This event will be run in conjunction with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay’s Annual Project Clean Stream and American River’s Nation River Cleanup as well as Reclaim the Bay! We have also attached an event flyer for your use.
We run our cleanups as a family event with plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We welcome every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the cleanup. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we need people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to help at registration, setup food and snacks as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. We will provide lunch and snacks as well as gloves. A limited number of tools are available for sign-out, but suggest bringing your own if you have them
Volunteers are also needed to arrive early and stay late for setup and break down. Photographers and Videographers also needed!

2013 Great American Cleanup
John Prince Park, west of Lake Worth, FL
To celebrate Earth Day, the children at our school participated in a neighbourhood cleanup. Here a Grade 1 boy and girl work on cleaning up our playground.
Volunteers from L’Oreal USA in Clark, NJ spent part of their 100th Anniversary celebration day doing service projects for different charites – including the American Red Cross. Two disaster vehicles – one from the Tri-County Chapter and one from the Colonial Crossroads Chapter got a L’Oreal “makeover” – a cleanup of the inside and outside, plus some needed electrical work and other fixes. Volunteers also cleaned and sanitized food and beverage storage containers used to transport food to disaster areas. Both Red Cross chapters were very grateful for the attention and hard work these volunteers provided.
On Saturday, we took out years of junk, forgotten belongings, and the odd useful objects from the attic of the Stoke Newington jagrti. The attic had become a sort of a joke amongst us at the centre - not anymore! now we have an attic to be proud of. The energy has changed, both the physical one, and the mental. (I have to say... the item that topped them all was the car dashboard!)
