Green Up Day 2014

This year I wasn't sure if I would be in town for Green Up Day and the forecast  looked like rain so I wasn't able to organize a group to help pick up Riverside. But the weather held out so I took my kids to help contribute some time for the annual clean up.

We filled up four bags of litter. Then the kids took a break and played on the playground before we took our bags to add to the collection down town. They were serving hot dogs chips and refreshments. I ran into some high school students I recognized who just dropped off bags from around town. It turned out to be a nice event. 

Thanks to All Who Voted

Thanks to all who voted for my video on the 5Gyres contest. Unfortunatly I did not win, but there are other ways I can get the footage I need. I ended up with around 165 votes. There were some good videos.

Check back on this blog for more posts, and remember to Reduce Reuse Recycle, and keep looking for ways to reduce the amount of plastic that is consumed.

5Gyres Contest

This is too good of an opportunity to pass up. 5Gyres is having a video contest which starts today. The winner will get to go on an expedition to the north Atlantic Gyre to research plastic polution. A $10,000.00 dollar value. If I win, I will be able to get the footage to finish my documentary! There are a lot of dedicated people who I know would love to be part of this voyage. It won't be easy.
