International coastal cleanup
(Beautify CNMI) — Beautify CNMI gets back to work this weekend with the International Coastal Cleanup being led by Division of Environmental Quality and 13 other volunteer groups that have adopted a beach for cleanup this Saturday morning.
“We also have support from IT&E which is providing t-shirts for volunteers and Bridge Capital, which provided garbage bags and gloves for six months back in June,” Beautify CNMI executive officer Angelo Villagomez said.
So far there are over 420 participants signed up and it is not too late for you to join.
You can show up at one of the other scheduled cleanups or you can adopt your own beach.
There are still plenty of beaches available (http://beautifycnmi.blogspot.com/2009/09/weekly-email-update-september-10.html).
