UPDATE: THE GRASSROOTS
EFFORT
MEET-UP: Fri 11/9 at Ocean Beach -- 2:30pm start
at Noriega & Great Hwy
Per recent calls with Byron & Sara:
The crew led by Byron and Kathleen did a
great job at Baker Beach. They have been supplied with 700 of the
oil absorbing cloths and are getting good support (along with
interviews from KRON and other media).
For those of you around at 2:30pm, they will be focusing on Ocean
Beach next. Please join them at Noriega and Great Highway then.
OR, look for them working in the vicinity if you arrive after
3pm.. Kitty Litter Scoopers are needed, so bring them!
They've developed a great systems of
2-person teams that can effectively clean up large areas. (one
pads up the oil ; the other scoops and carries...They will
explain and demonstrate)
OTHER
TIPS:
-
>>> Please bring crappy
clothing & footwear, heavy duty rubber gloves, rags, and
biodegradable dish soap or Dr. Bronners liquid soap. If
you have extra of any of these things, they probably
won't go to waste.
-
>>> Also bring a fully charged cell phone with the
following number in it: 877.823.6926.
-
That is the number to call
if you find a suffering bird or other animal. The animal
groups are encouraging people to not pick up wildlife.
-
Please call the number &
report your name, the animal, its condition & location
as precisely as possible
SATURDAY
CLEANUP EFFORTS:
These clean-up kits they've developed will be distributed tomorrow
at Ocean Beach, but you'll still need to bring the kitty litty
scoopers. We'll post a new update and meeting location soon.
