On Saturday July 24, FoLAR is hosting an in-person cleanup for collecting trash at the LA River. This event is to help prevent waste from polluting our oceans and urban ecosystems. It starts at 8:00am and goes until 4:00pm. You can register for free online at www.eventbrite.com and for limited time, they are sending “Cleanup Starter Kits” to registered volunteers on a “first come, first-serve basis.” Over the past 30 years, FoLAR has worked to restore habitats and keep our River clean. Their goal is to “ensure an equitable, publicly accessible, and ecologically sustainable Los Angeles River by inspiring River stewardship through community engagement, education, advocacy, and thought leadership.” This organization has helped our communities for a very long time and I believe that it is our turn to help and join them on their mission to keep our oceans and rivers clean.
