If you’re not busy on Saturday, why don’t you join one of the waterway clean up projects being organized by Ocean Conservancy? On Saturday, Sept 19th people around the world will be pitching in, diving in, and helping clean up any body of water we can get our hands on (or near). Last year teams around the world picked up 6.8 million pounds of trash which means that’s 6.8 million pounds less that’ll end up in our oceans. Over 400,000 volunteers, 100 countries, and 42 states participated in last year’s worthwhile effort.
A Beaconfire crew will be joining the Ocean Conservancy team to work on the banks of the Anacostia River. You can learn more about this international event (and sign up!) at www.oceanconservancy.org/icc
