San Diegans Play Large Role in International cleanup efforts
Posted: September 20, 2008
San Diego, CA – Handcuffs, garage door openers, a handgun and fireworks. Can you guess what these four objects have in common? Well, all of these, as well as many other items were collected at this morning’s countywide cleanup, Coastal Cleanup Day. Today the 24th Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day (CCD), presented by the County Board of Supervisors, brought together thousands of San Diegans working towards a common goal- to combat the extensive pollution problems our local communities, beaches and oceans face. Co-coordinated by San Diego Coastkeeper (SDCK) and I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD), 2008 marked another record turnout as more than 7,000 volunteers removed over 80,000 pounds of trash and recyclables from at least 100 miles of beach and shoreline. This year coordinators expanded their reach across the border, where more than 8,250 pounds of trash was removed from four cleanup sites in Playas de Tijuana. Coordinators expect both volunteer numbers and debris totals to increase after all cleanup sites report their totals. With an astonishing 73 cleanup sites throughout the county and in Tijuana, 2008 has proved to be another record setting year.
