"Shake Your Tail - Save a Whale"
Team Two of the Genentech Give Back crew started their internships by taking a trip to Pacifica, cleaning the Rockaway beaches and waterfront and removing weeds along the bike path descending to Linda Mar State Beach. Fun was the first order of business, oh and meeting each other! But then this team got down to business collecting 14 pounds of plastic […]

Glorious day at Rockaway. Sunshine! Great temperature! Sea Breeze! Thanks to all who participated today (9 hearty volunteers). A total of 5 pounds of trash and 3 pounds of recycles were picked up. Might be an all time low – hopefully because people are 1) littering less and 2) picking up as they go. Cigarette butts, however tend to be […]

They removed 1000 cigarette butts, a tire and a car fender and assorted trash totaling 54 pounds and another 4 #’s of recycling. The cleanup was the easy part! Team AOL then hit the […]
Read moreWhat a great team we have. I was suddenly called to a personal emergency at the end of the cleanup time. So without me, my crew formed a great impromptu wrap-up team. They stowed buckets and gloves in their cars or in the bushes. We eventually moved them to my garage afterwards. Congratulations to 2 of our Mussel Rock Stars, […]

I went by Park Mall today and noticed that the dumped furniture has been removed, I assume at the direction of the ownership group. Vast improvement. Thanks to whoever was responsible for this. However, this site continues to be the resting place of windblown trash from the Park Mall area. This trash has several sources: Ortega School and Terra Nova […]
