Here at talkin' trash headquarters, we hope everyone's had a super start to the new year. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts last year, there has been a fair amount of trash on the streets in the first 4 days of 2012. And the steam-cleaning Department of Public Works in San Francisco is probably not going to get it all cleaned up in preparation for this year's Chinese New Year parade. So it looks like we have work to do again this year.
This Saturday, January 7, from 10-12, we were planning to join the Sea Scavenger Conservancy for their once-a-month industrial shoreline cleanup, where they get a bunch of volunteers together just south of AT&T park in San Francisco to "help stop shoreline plastic from becoming ocean plastic".
But, guess what? Found out that's happening January 14th--and all of their pick-ups will be on the SECOND Saturday of each month. We'll try again next week.
SO, in the meantime, we'll plan to work the streets around the Caltrain station, AT&T park, and China Basin, and hopefully pick up some of the plastic that might make its way into the bay anyway. Come join us everyone!
