clean up club
let's get in touch
our clean up club started in june of 2021 to focus on cleaning land that is close to water, or forested areas likes parks. i particularly like to focus on styrofoam, especially trying to capture the large pieces before they break down.before starting our monthly shoreline clean-ups i was quite upset by the amount of litter, especially styrofoam, that i would see in our local parks and around my neighborhood.
one morning while out for a run, i saw some ducks swimming around and dodging styrofoam.. that was my breaking point. for my 30th birthday, i got some of my friends together and we cleaned our first shoreline! we have been hooked ever since. as of november 2023, we've completed 26 clean ups and retrieved hundreds of pounds of litter otherwise headed back into the fraser river.
as a small group, our clean up club is the most rewarding contribution to our planet we can make on a regular basis. please consider joining us if you live in the lower mainland, or will be visiting. you can get in touch here.
