TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup
Last August, I blogged about the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. Almost a year ago, concerned folks around Canada joined together to clean up our precious shorelines. Now's the time when everyone is gearing up to take part again. To date, over 1,000 shorelines across Canada are registered to receive a face lift from concerned Canadians in September. Mary Desjardins, Executive Director, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, estimates that 150,000 kilograms of garbage will be picked up this year. Plastic, one of the worst environmental offenders, is a great threat to marine life and tons of it are recovered from shoreline cleanups each year. If you think about the garbage strikes going on in these parts, and Windsor, you can imagine how much it has affected our beautiful bodies of water. The TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a great way to get involved and show your concern for the environment.

We have been a part of the shoreline clean-up every year with my cub group.
And one year my husbands company even PAID their employees (before.... the R HIT) to participate in it as well. My husband happily "volunteered".
We are always amazed at what we find that other people threw away! Very sad....

I always participate in "cleanup" with any group, I work in a school and we always have special days to cleanup around the school yard, really makes a difference at the end of the day, and the kids are proud that they made a good job.
