Let's celebrate Earth Day and give back to Mother Earth by cleaning
up a little.
As an Environmental, Health and Safety Manager, I'm a little
disappointed 
to see that there have not been any
Earth Day "Cache In Trash Out" events scheduled for the Bay
Area or the Central Coast. So I decided that I would take it
upon myself to address this opportunity! 
Please join me for
an Earth Day morning "Cache In Trash Out" at the beach in
Davenport, CA. The beach at Davenport is a favorite place for
overnight campers and parties, and as it a result it tends to look
- well - trashed!
We can meet at the Whale City Bakery, Bar and Grill in
Davenport. Once assembled, we can march across the street for a
clean up effort at the beach.
The earlier, the better. Tentative plans: let's meet at "8-ish"
at the cafe and start the clean-up at 8:30 a.m.
Please feel free to contact me with any suggestions. I will try
to bring plastic bags for the clean-up effort.
Please consider bringing work gloves or latex gloves for hand
protection for the clean-up. Feel free to bring plastic bags as
well. I also recommend utility pails (1-2 gallon size) with
handles.
For the trail to and from the beach, plan to wear shoes or tevas
that provide good traction.
We will be able to take any recyclable materials and household
hazardous wastes that we collect to the City of Santa Cruz
Recycling Center at the City Landfill on Dimeo Lane. I am
finalizing plans for the disposal of the trash that we will
collect. Pickup trucks are welcome as we will probably be running
the stuff we collect to the Dimeo Lane landfill ourselves.
Look forward to seeing you Saturday morning!
Enjoy! And happy caching!
