International Coastal Cleanup

The International Coastal Cleanup will be on September 19th this year. It's similar to our Potomac River Watershed Cleanup, but on a larger scale... alas the "international" part of the name. There are many sites in the DC Metro area that still need volunteers. You can find that information on the Ocean Conservancy's website:

and click on "Register for a Cleanup near you". I think it would especially cool to volunteer at the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. The best part about volunteering for a beach cleanup is that you can get service hours AND have a bit of vacation the process. Not a bad deal.

There's also a bunch of sites closer to the DC Metro area as well, especially on the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Volunteer and get your service hours early in the school year!

Still not sure? Maybe these little fellas will change your mind:
