Pollution Prevention is Patriotic
July 4, 2009, noon - 4 p.m.
Hosted by: Save Our Shores
Special notes: Every year thousands flock to Santa Cruz County beaches to celebrate the Fourth of July and every year the impact to our beaches is HUGE! Thousands of pounds of fireworks and picnic litter are left on the beach, eventually making their way into the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Help SOS share the "Pollution Prevention is Patriotic" message at busy local beaches this Fourth of July. SOS staff and volunteers will set-up pollution prevention stations to remind beach goers to "Pack Their Trash" and hand out trash and recycling bags for free. We need your help!
