Join us this Saturday, June 8th from 10:00-12:00 in celebration of World Oceans Day! We are partnering with Olympia’s Clean Team to pick up trash downtown before it gets washed into Puget Sound and becomes marine debris. Our primary target: cigarette butts that didn’t find their way into one of our sweet canisters (curious? check out our Hold On To Your Butts program). Meet us on the steps of City Hall at 10:00 am – we’ll provide buckets, bags, gloves, and pickers (but feel free to BYO, especially gloves). We’ll split into different groups so we can divide and conquer, cleaning up different routes throughout the city. Afterwards, we’ll rendezvous back at at City Hall by 11:30 am for a photo-opp and to dispose of the trash.
