Every year the Ocean Conservancy puts together an International Coastal Clean-up in an effort to better the oceans and lakes that support life on this planet. Last year the event attracted 400,000 volunteers from 100 countries who were able to pick up 6.8 million pounds of trash!
This years 24th Annual International Coastal Clean-up takes place this Saturday at sights all over Chicago's Lakefront and you are invited to participate!
If you have some free time to donate to cleaning up trash from our beaches this weekend, I strongly encourage you to visit the Ocean Conservancy's Coastal Clean-up page and make plans to make a difference with your Saturday.
I'll be out at 12th Street beach lending my hand to our Great Lakes. Look for pictures up early next week.
