LONG BEACH PENINSULA, Wash.
— Celebrate Earth Day by
helping to pick up trash and
clean up the 28 miles of san-
G\3DFL¿F2FHDQEHDFKRQWKH
Long Beach Peninsula. The
GrassRoots Garbage Gang
will host a community beach
cleanup on Saturday, April 23.
It’s easy: There are no
pre-meetings, agendas to fol-
low or compulsory wrap-up
meetings to attend; there are
no reports to complete — just
come out to any one of the
seven major beach approaches
on the peninsula at 9:30 a.m.
Saturday and pick up supplies
from volunteers.
There are many sections
of the beach that need adopt-
ing. Round up your family
or friends, and make a small
group to tackle a section of
beach. Several long-term vol-
unteers do a section all on their
own.
After the cleanup, there will

Since 2001 when it all started,
the effort has mushroomed,
with volunteers coming from
all over the state to help out at
one or all three of the annual
cleanups: in January, in April
and on July 5.

Hundreds of volunteers toiled for hours to pick up and dispose of debris left on the beach after
July 4 revelries last year, which saw a huge increase in trash compared to previous years. The
GrassRoots Garbage Gang puts on three beach cleanups each year; the next one is April 23.
