Saturday September 15th is International Coast Cleanup Day.
I'm inspired to make this post from past cleanups I have participated in but also from a recent early morning walk on Agate beach in which I was/wasn't surprised to see how many tiny fragments of plastic lay in the sand I remembering that it wasn't always like that when I was a kid.
The Surfrider Foundation's Portland, Newport, Suislaw and Coos Bay Chapters are all promoting a cleanup at the Salmon River Headwaters at Timberline in conjunction with SOLVe. You can find info here:

If you can't make that, SOLVe is sponsoring a riverside cleanup on Sept 29th in The Dalles at Mill Creek as well as other locations across the state. Info here:

If you are not into that you could always walk out on the spit and pick up a few items or a little dog poop. Yup I said it... |
