Excellent Life of a Plastic Bag Mockumentary

Montara Beach Event

75 people joined together on Montara Beach FOR clean energy, AGAINST off shore drilling and pledged to pick up a bag of litter over the summer to reduce plastic from entering the ocean.

    It was an honor to participate in the Hands Across the Sand event in Montara on Saturday, June 26th, and a joy to stand with so many of you and for the rest of you who could not make it.

    Stand proud my friends it was a powerful day that is certain to bear many fruits in the future.

PACIFICA: Rain Turns Beach Into Dumping Ground
 
    Ian Butler is a PBC member who has adopted the Secret Waterfall since 2007, a storm drain that pours runoff filled with garbage out onto the beach north of the now famous Esplanade eroding bluff. Click the link below for the KTVU report.

Volunteers brighten foggy morning for Coastal Cleanup Day

    They were working as one, for the second time this year.  Even as plastic bags, food wrappers, and cigarette butts appeared everywhere and the fog covered them with droplets they continued.  Nearly 1300 volunteers combed the city's beaches, bluffs, streets, and creeks on Sept. 19th for California 's largest volunteer event in history.  They removed over 30,000 cigarette butts and nearly that many discarded, scattered candy/food wrappers.  One team employed a 4 wheel drive truck to pull a heavy axle from Big Inch Creek.  Thirty volunteers retrieved hundreds of tennis balls from San Pedro Creekalong with bottles and cans left there or washed there from the storm drains.  Other volunteers teamed up to load heavy items like a cement truck pump, three foot diameter rusted culverts, tv's, a screen door, pallets, shopping carts, and bundles from a homeless encampment.   And as volunteers have been doing for the past 11 years and in force since 2005, they looked for the little things that are most easily ingested by wildlife, birds and fish.  And they counted.  Over and over they counted the number of cigarette butts, fishing line, bottle tops, plastic wrappers, car parts, construction debris and more so that when they were through, we all could learn what is escaping into the environment and killing the ocean from our town of Pacifica . 

 

    After three hours of working at 30 sites from all corners of Pacifica , volunteers converged to Sharp Park beach and picnic area.  They stood and sat and drummed to the past; when everything was biodegradable and there was no litter, and for a cleaner future; when we all understand the harms of toxins and debris in our environment and change our ways.  They talked to each other and shared their stories on a special day with a special energy that gives us hope for the future. 

 

When the 1300 volunteers were done in Pacifica the dumpster overflowed with 3 tons of debris for the second time in one year (Earth Day cleanup netted a 20 yard dumpster too) and Pacifica 's streets beaches, bluffs, and creeks were much safer more beautiful places.   With your help and daily stewardship, at least 1300 people hope they will stay that way.  On Earth Day 2010 these same volunteers (and many more) will be back out there in force working through the wind and fog to clean our city again.  They will be there again because they know that when all are involved, working side by side with our neighbors and friends to right the wrongs of a world that is killing the ocean with pollution, we will no longer be scouring for litter or counting thousands of cigarette butts.  Instead we will be growing food and native plants and we will be even happier than the 1300 people were from Coastal Cleanup Day 2009.

Thank you Sunesis Pharmaceuticals
for taking a field trip to Pacifica and having a two hour beach cleanup at Sharp Park Beach on Saturday, September 11th. Around 30 employees spent their team bonding day removing plastic, fishing debris, and litter from Sharp Park beach. Together they collected 13 bags of litter and debris. They followed up the work party with some fun at LaPlaya Restaurant in Pedro Point Shopping Center.  Pacifica Beach Coalition member Helena said it was a terrific day with a terrific team of people!
  Thank you Sunesis for helping our beaches and learning about litter along the way!

                                                                                                  

The Pacifica Beach Coalition is a project of Pacifica's Environmental Family, a registered nonprofit organization whose goal is to "increase environmental awareness in the community and in the schools."

Mission Statement

The Pacifica Beach Coalition is dedicated to preserving coastal habitats and its wildlife by ending litter on Pacifica's beaches through advocacy, education, community building and citizen action.

The Pacifica Beach Coalition is all about you. There are over 39,000 residents in Pacifica.  2700 volunteers and 55 businesses joined in Earth Day and California Coastal Cleanup events in 2008 removing over 15,000 pounds of litter and recycles from our beaches, streets, bluffs and parks. Together we represent a powerful force for positive change.  By picking up litter, restoring habitat, or making small changes in our lives we can help reduce the climate crisis by protecting the health of the ocean. Globally? We are creating a model community of citizens who protect wildlife by eliminating litter, reducing storm water pollution, and protecting our beaches, creeks, and storm drains through citizen action.  Our intent is to make changes in our community and guide other communities in the Bay Area, California, USA and the world to do the same.   We already have partners joining our Earth Day events in Half Moon Bay, Daly City and San Mateo.

When you're inspired to cleanup at the beach or         other site on your own, we'd like to hear from you.     

The numbers through organized events of the Pacifica Beach Coalition are already impressive (see "Cleanup Statistics" under Navigation). Pacifica has led the way for the rest of the Coastside in its environment-restoring program. We'd like to add and document your efforts with this downloadable Trash Collection Report Form. Please fill it out and email it to PickitupPacifica@gmail.com


Blue Marble
 Have you received your blue marble yet?


Join the Pacifica Beach Coalition in paying it forward and bringing attention to the plight of the ocean by sharing blue marbles with people committing random acts of ocean kindness like picking up litter, composting, recycling, restoring native habitat, conserving water.   

The Blue Marble, is a famous photograph taken of the Earth by astronauts on December 7, 1972.  It is likely the most widely distributed photographic image in existence.  The image is one of the few to show a fully illuminated Earth, as the astronauts had the Sun behind them when they took the image.  To the astronauts, Earth had the appearance of a glass marble (hence the name, Blue Marble).

When you get a marble, pass it along within 24 hours with the message to do the same...around and around the blue marbles will go...around the big Blue Marble, our ocean planet.
 
It's a simple idea: commit a random act of ocean kindness by sharing a blue marble forward with someone doing good things for our blue planet and tell them to do the same.  For more info go to:  www.bluemarbles.org

Earth Day ... cont... You cleaned every corner of Pacifica, most major streets and every beach and bluff! Volunteers down the coast joined us and cleaned 5 beaches in Montara, Princeton, and Half Moon Bay and Pilarcitos creek .
 
Five schools had school wide cleanup and gardening events. Terra Nova Interact Club organized a green week teaching about environmental issues with activities each day.  There were five habitat restoration projects including tree planting at Frontierland Park, iceplant removal at Linda Mar Beach and weeding at Rockaway Beach. There were plenty of gardening events happening: Pacifica Gardens had composting demos, Sunflower planting and double-digging demonstrations.  Most of the schools had gardening, weeding, trimming, and planting too!
 
Over 50 businesses joined again this year, with many of the businesses from last year informing us that they now cleanup daily or at least weekly.  90 Community Groups/families joined together for projects. 
 

PCT - Channel 26 did an amazing job filming the event. Steve Brown, Bob Twigg and Sharron Walker produced a brilliant video documenting your work. Many of you are the Earth Day stars for the Pacifica Currents - Earth Day 2009 video which will be shown soon on PCT channel 26.  If you would like to have a house or community group party to show the video, the Pacifica Beach Coalition / PCT will gladly share a copy with you.

Does your fish come from a farm? And even more importantly, what does that mean?

Find out the answer to this, and more, when you test your fish knowledge by playing our new Go, Fish! game. For everyone who plays, $1 will get donated to our work to end overfishing once and for all.

Go, Fish! is all about building support for our ocean — and the wildlife, people, and economies that depend on it — while raising awareness about the ins and outs of the fishing industry. You can get started here.


                                                                                                   

EARTH DAY 2008 Highlights 


Sunset Ridge cleans up entire school yard

   What could be more fun than an Easter Egg hunt? To the students of Sunset Ridge Elementary school, a litter pickup in April for Earth Day was the answer.  At least it appeared that way on Wednesday, April 9th when the entire school participated in the Pacifica Beach Coalition's Earth Day '08 event by dividing the school yard into sections for each grade level to work on. For many of the classes it looked like a PE exercise with the students running back and forth to find the litter and place it in the bag.  Smiles, pride, and excitement were on all of the faces.
    Every student and teacher seemed up for the task and within 15-20 minutes the hunt for litter became more difficult.  By the end of the day over 450 pounds of litter and recycles including a dumped computer monitor, hub cap, fireplace grate, plastic bits, wrappers, and styrofoam was collected.  Over 550 happy students and teachers walked through a litter free school yard proudly knowing they made it that way. "Students and visitors will keep the campus clean, if it is clean. A clean campus tells our students, we respect and are proud of our surroundings," said Principal Laurel Trask. The Pacifica Beach Coalition President, Lynn Adams was on hand to talk with the students about the harms of litter and how it flows from their school yard and homes into the ocean via the storm drains. Some 5th Grade students found a storm drain and rescued litter waiting for a rain event to wash into the sea from its opening. Who said learning wasn't fun???


OCEAN SHORE SCHOOL

250 students and 25 adults celebrated the greenhouse opening on Monday, April 7th at Ocean Shore School with an Earth Day activity day.  All the kids got a slice of organic apple and a chance to tour the garden - worm bin, compost bins, raised beds with vegetables, greenhouse with seedlings and warm-weather plants, herb garden, butterfly garden and orchard.  The kids had a chance to trowel dirt into a new raised bed and amend the soil with worm compost.  The adults participated in a celebration to recognize the value of the greenhouse to the students, the school and the community, as well as to thank RecycleWorks for their generous greenhouse grant.                                                         On Sunday, April 5th, 25 parents and students worked in the school yard to remove 125 pounds of litter.  They also weeded, mowed grass, and beautified the garden and school grounds for Earth Day.  Ocean Shore parents and students have planted all native plants in the school ground to reduce water usage, enhance native habitat, and to show students and parents a more sustainable way to live harmoniously with nature.  The school ground gardens are a pride for all of Pacifica and a model to the school district and community on how to utilize nature and reduce costs for garden maintenance.

GGNRA Parks Conservancy                                         Milagra Ridge Habitat Restoration

By Christina Crooker

Thirteen people removed 500 Monterey pine saplings that were invading mission blue butterfly habitat at Milagra Ridge, part of the GGNRA. They then went on an interpretive walk about the mission blue and wildflowers native to Milagra Ridge and then joined the Celebration event at Sharp Park.

Pacifica and Belmont 4-H Clubs

Despite 45mph winds and cold temps, 30 volunteers join to clean Mussel Rock area and the adjoining bluff collecting an estimated 600 pounds of litter and recycles

Public Works and Waste Water Treatment plant staff donates time to clean up Ian’s Secret waterfall near Mussel Rock. 

According to Public Works staff member, Aron Clark, “the more miserable, the more memorable” and the 45mph winds and high surf on Saturday, April 19th made for a very memorable Day of Action in Pacifica for Earth Day.   Seven volunteers from Pacifica’s Public Works and Waste Water Treatment Plant belayed down the cliff to the “Secret Waterfall” just south of Mussel Rock.  Once there, they cut rebar that had been sticking out of the dumped concrete, scooped out hundreds of cigarette butts from an eddy, and collected 100 pounds of litter at the base of the waterfall.  Because the high surf blocked access from the beach, all debris was pulled up the cliff by ropes and hauled away. 

Safeway trees trimmed by resident

According to one Pacifica resident, “I have been walking by the trees along the Safeway parking lot for a few months and wanted to help shape them for appearance and also to keep people from throwing garbage there.  Earth day gave me that opportunity.  A gentleman who helped me works at the recycle van at that parking lot and two other persons, waiting for the bus helped me drag some of the branches to the pile.  Thanks for organizing this Earth Day”. 

Jim Poket

It was cold and blustery when 11 members of the Coastside Masonic Lodge and the Career Development Council Advisory Board met at the Esplanade Bluffs to fill out waivers and collect  supplies. We were assembled to give back to the Earth by taking back the refuse that inconsiderate humans had deposited on the dunes overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Spirits were lifted and bodies warmed as the combined Team traversed from South to North removing everything from cigarette butts and toilet paper to discarded table legs. After the dunes had been returned to their natural state, the western curb of Esplanade received the same treatment. The Team regrouped and headed off to Manor 7-11 to clean the area from Ocean Shore School's southern edge to Manor Drive. The staff at 7-11 were so appreciative of the Team's efforts that they treated each member to a hot drink. After collecting 22 bags of garbage the Team traveled to Sharp Park Beach to attend the celebratory event and were fed a delicious lunch of organic salad, warm macaroni and cheese and sandwiches while listening to Ian Butler and numerous dignitaries. After receiving certificates, which will hang proudly at the Coastside Masonic Lodge and PeninsulaWorks in Daly City, we left Sharp Park Beach knowing we had made a difference. Vows were made to return next year, along with silent dreams that it would be warmer when we again met to show our appreciation to the Earth.

Cabrillo School --- by Lauri Vreeland

Cabrillo School celebrated their first ever Earth Day event with a school wide cleanup and organic seedling sale. Although many Cabrillo students and parents were participating in other Earth Day clean-ups, such as the "Yes on 'N'", they still had 25 participants!
In addition to cleaning up the school, the Cabrillo School Organic Seedling sell was a success!
Approximately 80 seedlings were sold... imagine how many would have sold had the wind died down?!

55 Businesses including 5 shopping centers Join Cleanup Efforts

Taco Bell in Manor and Linda Mar had staff cleanup all around their business.


Vista Mar Residents join together to prune and maintain their median strip, trimming about 600 pounds of green waste and collecting 5 bags of recycles and litter.  Site organizer Sandy Parry reports that there was much less litter this year than last when they collected 8 bags of trash.  


The Livability Project and San Mateo Master Composters teamed up to have a garden dig and compost building activity at the new Pacifica Garden behind Linda Mar School.  Approximately 25 volunteers joined in the work tilling the soil, sheet composting, and starting a compost and worm bin.  The Master Composters then helped collect all of the compostables from the no-waste Celebration event.


Earth Day Pacifica goes down the coast.  

After hearing about the work of the Pacifica Beach Coalition for Earth Day, Mavericks Surf Venture joined in and organized a cleanup at Mavericks beach, parking lot, and adjoining wetlands.  Surfrider Foundation took on Poplar Beach in Half Moon Bay and a NDNU student organized a cleanup at her university.  

How nice will it be to have the entire Bay Area cleaned up every Earth Day … how about every day???

Pacifica Adopt-A-Beach Program

The Pacifica Beach Coalition, in partnership with the California Coastal Commission, has launched the Pacifica Adopt-A-Beach program. The program is a great way for your organization, business, school, or community group to take action and help keep our beaches clean. Groups can choose any of the 5 beaches in Pacifica or Mussel Rock to adopt. Participants make a commitment to cleaning their beach at least three times a year, although school groups can fulfill their obligation with a single cleanup. Groups are encouraged to re-adopt at the end of the year. The Adopt-A-Beach program fosters feelings of pride and ownership as volunteers begin to care for "their" beach. The Pacifica Beach Coalition supplies all cleanup equipment and training for the cleanups. A Pacifica Beach Coalition volunteer will provide your group with a brief marine debris presentation prior to your first cleanup. For more information on the Adopt-A-Beach program please contact Lynn Adams a650-355-1668 or PickItUpPacifica@gmail.com

2007 Highlights of EARTH DAY – PACIFICA

Earth Day - Pacifica 2007 had 600 volunteers, 45 community groups and 13 businesses who collected 12,000 pounds of litter/recycles and 4,000 pounds of greenwaste from 6 beaches, 5 creeks, 20 streets and 40 sites in just 2 hours.


Partnership for a Safe and Healthy Pacifica – 10 High school students and adults join together to honor two students killed in a drunk driving accident by cleaning the street and creek area near the memorial site.  When the event was over, the organizer of this site and an aunt to one of the boys jumped in my arms and proclaimed that this was the best thing the group had ever done and that the experience was unbelievable!  For her, it was indescribably powerful in a very healing way to do something for the earth to honor two special kids taken too soon.

Ingrid B. Lacey Middle School - Over 50 students and 15 adults show up and removed litter from all of West Sharp Park, a 55 block residential area adjacent to their school and Sharp Park Beach before heading to the beach to help volunteers there.  Total litter removed from the beach and street area = 2055 pounds
