we.grow.eco, in collaboration with Keep Albuquerque Beautiful and Albuquerque Parks and Rec, invites folks in the Albuquerque community to join us on Saturday, October 2nd at 9:30 a.m. at Westgate Community Park to pick up some litter together.

Chauncey has decided to walk from Virginia Beach, Virginia to San Francisco, California. His friend Noah is driving the support vehicle and helping to coordinate & document the adventures. along the way, they're meeting up with folks in local communities to pick up trash & talk about civic engagement & grassroots organizing. learn more about the project at www.wegroweco.org.

Upon arrival for the cleanup:

• We will have a brief orientation about how the morning will go, then split into smaller groups

• "Collector" groups will be a given gloves & bags/buckets, & will then spread out in the park

• One group will hang back as the "sorters," and as collectors come back with buckets of trash, they will sort by type & brand, then use the One Piece A Day smartphone app to document the litter

• After collecting & documenting our litter haul, we will gather together to take a group photo & debrief about single-use plastic pollution & possible grassroots power-driven solutions
