went by with minor fanfare (obvious reason). The US Post office issued these stamps for the first Earth Day in 1970. Their 2020 offering is in the “Photos 2020”. Leaves something to be desired.
This past week, several volunteers/groups conducted their own pickups around the city of Pensacola/Navarre - 505 lbs
you would think there would be next to no trash along are beaches with them closed.
Not to say anything about finding plastic gloves/masks along Scenic Hwy yesterday. We can’t say its tourists that litter when finding gloves in store parking lots
on empty lots in Gulf Breeze proper. 61 lbs collected in 4 trash bags. A further 17 lbs was picked up along 0.5 miles of Scenic Hwy, south of Chimney park
the trash picked up along Scenic Hwy and it’s parks: 120 Lbs at Chimney and 119 at Bay Bluffs. Good pickup with only 27 volunteers! A further 21 lbs was picked at the new site, Benny Russell Park in north Pace
36 volunteers picked up 256 lbs at Naval Live Oaks and another 30 lbs by 10 people at Bob Sikes.
Seems a Whataburger wrapper is always picked up on a weekly basis! Today there was only one! Of course there are always Walmart bags
58 volunteers collected a total of 637 lbs - 454 lbs on the shoreline and 183 on the islands.
Thanks Tammy & Andy paddling out to the islands.
Monthly total was 3,221 lbs - 5,151 for the year
Sanders and Bruce Beach. The photo is from along the break wall of Maritime Park - 18 lbs including 22 water bottles! A lot of broken glass. Total lbs for the day was 265 lbs
high schools and Pensacola Christian College gathered a total of 1,039 lbs of trash. 151 lbs at Bartram Park, 225 lbs at Pensacola Visitor Centre and 663 at Graffiti Bridge - wow!
ALL!
People just don’t care and expect someone else to do it! Applies to recycling also
Do you care?
due to the efforts of 24 volunteers from the US Diplomacy Council. Talks by two environmentalists (Ghana & Costa Rica) were quite informative
