I think the main reason the cleanup so done at a different time to the international cleanup is because of the end of the holiday season.

I am part of a community of artist; photographers, painters, writers, musicians and viewers, that try to inform and educate people on issues like this through freedom of expression, for the full story and pictures on this cleanup please goto;

Little steps like this are good for reminding people and communities that our current way of life is unsustainable, that this is a global issue. If things are this bad in our so called developed countries, think of the devastation mankind is reeking in places that are not so open.

Ignoring it as an issue -- until the panic sets in -- means, more war's for water, food and shelter will be the legacy we leave our children.
