Trash Bash: Pick Up and Party

Yesterday, over twenty adults and kids joined in a community-wide cleanup that stretched from Tooby Park to north of Redway. The volunteers topped off a twenty foot dumpster in a few hours.

You can join the team by going to a party! How cool is that? Just come to the Mateel today, dance and check out all the things to do to help support the cleanup efforts.

First off I would like to say to all those children (& adults, I’ll get to you guys in a moment) what a wonderful job you all did, thank you. That being said, I must now ask the question, how could anyone let these little children around such filth? Yes this place needs to be cleaned up and the unwelcome trash needs to be cleared out, but we should not be using child labor to do so! There are needles people! There is human feces everywhere, and what do you think a homeless women adds to the festering slurry? As adults we may be more concerned and aware of our surroundings there for we are safer then the little ones who are merely following orders from mom and/or dad who clearly have good intention but there is no need to risk the life of a child for those who chose to throw there’s away! There has got to be another way
