  • LOL ...!

  • la verdad q xvr al hacer esto x el planeta que todos los años el planeta tenga su hora que pueda respirar XD

  • felicito realmente a estas personas por haber hecho esto.. como no hacemos eso en america del sur ...!! por dios hay que tomar conciencia..!! veamos la cultura de estas personas que realmente se preocupan por nuestro planeta seamos mas cultos... y tratemos de ahorrar .. una hora no cuesta nada comparado a los cambios que tengamos de aqui en adelante...

  • WOW!!! Google has a black version called: clean black [dot] com. It saves energy as it uses a black background. Similar initiative as Earth Hour!

  • life*

  • I must have to do some ting...

  • everyone turning there lights off is really going to make the ice caps stop melting... ya...

  • its actually March 28th 2009.. last saturday of march..

  • Take a stand and help our future! March 29 2009

  • yeah, alright, way too save money! haha, pissed off the electrical companies, some of the least corrupt companies in the industry,and only serve to better the quality of life on this rock. but hey, they got the support of mcdonalds, the superpower of the world, woo hoo. go immigrant slavery! this could be a good thing if man's effects on the environment were in anyway scientifically provable. no legitimate scientist would tell you global warming is unnatural.

  • u obviously have no idea what ur talking about. a ton of scientist say its unnatural. the ones who have not are employed by certain ppl..such as ppl who dont want get their hands dirty and work to save the earth. and ppl who are working to keep their money...oil co. gas...car co. etc.

    the facts are there and we have been told by legit ppl. your just not listening.

  • so u believe everything the media tells you, eh? typical.

  • putting words into ppls mouths eh...you think ur so big on the internet...how small is ur mind really if u cannot grasp the fact that global warming is real and its happening now. facts..these things u can see happen..u can experience and ur saying the media is feeding me this. your a moron.

  • the "global warming phenomenon" is not as dratstic as its made out to be. period. its a natural occurance that we've effected on a microscopic scale compared to the big picture of whats going to happen. now, wanting to change the natural occurance of the earth's climate cycle could be dangerous, but so could just letting it happen be. their needs to be a half letting whats happening come, and half prevent it, sort of action. messing with the natural cycles of the earth could backfire horribly.

  • global warming is only believed to be true, because its been said enough in America, that its accepted. just like how people believe xeno sentience is non existent. how ignorant can they be? their is clear evidence and to think we are the only intelligent life in the entire universe is quite self absorbed and arrogant.

  • actually there is evidence. the coldest place one earth shouldnt me melting at an alarming rate. and in other countries ppl are doing stuff to reduce pollution so it is not only america. and if u watch the video they even mention other countries doing the earth hr thing.

    but i do agree with u that we cannot be the only intelligent live in the universe.

  • No no don't think positive ,for God sake !

  • I wish New York cared enough to do this.

  • I love the emphasis he put on Atlanta. I just wish my city wasn't naive enough to fall for this.

  • We nee to do a Earth day For 12 hours it wouldent be hard we could just do it at night when everone is sleeping. !!!!!!!

  • we already have an earth day, set at 24 hours (which is how long a day is)

  • ppl here in pakistan we have load shedding and its for 1hour, 8 times a day

    i hope we r contributing well enough. so plz put pakistan in energy conservation list. lolz

    thanku!

  • its a good symbol but one hour in a whole year, or even month is going to do about as much as punching the sidewalk while trying to dig to china.

  • Its now 2012 and I can't believe that we were all so naive about global warming even back in 2008...

    In my world we are already seeing the results of everyones lack of real action...

    So sad...

    CAssie xoxox

  • we should have earth hour every month or more often

  • I live in Virginia. Its been hot as hell for the past week. Tornados everywhere. And its only the beginning of the summer. I think this is a great idea. Maybe the damn gas prices will go down...or stay the same price for at least a week.

  • that is really cool!

  • Its real guys not a bunch of bullshit ok?

    GW is real we humans did it we can fix.I have great knowledge of it BUT u dont want to get  rid of ALL the greenhouse gases otherwise we would die.

  • oops typo. omit something :P

  • global warming = R-E-A-L

    and all you nitwits who don't think it is should get out of your air conditioned room and actually experience the world changing (not for the good might i add).

    before you say something such nonesense stuff, back 'em up. got nothing? 'course you dont.

  • It's no longer a debate. Climate change is happening.

  • The problem with the global warming debate is that most people debating it lack sufficient knowledge to properly understand it.

    Personally my point of view is I can't be sure global warming is true because I don't have enough personal knowledge on the subject.

    On the other hand turning your lights off for an hour to make a point can't hurt.

    That being said, saying "GW is fake, im like WTF is this u know :P" is not a very smart comment whether GW is true or not

  • The hottest day on record was some nearly 80 years ago.....furthermore china, who don't have to abide by emissions rules, isn't a very hot place, despite their MASSIVE carbon output....I'll agree that their air is unhealthy and smogy, and adopting this clean energy won't do any harm, BUT if carbon output cause's global warming from man-kind, this is proof that man-made warming is a fraud and a political money spinner as china IS NOT hot...

  • so true!

  • "Earth Hour" - What a load of nonsense

    "Manmade Global Warming" is a colossal hoax intended by its collectivist supporters to usher in worldwide socialism

  • thank you!

  • well, don't have to worry bout this till later, also, (AL gore problably told a random guy to post this :D.

  • the global warming is a fact, why don't you accept that?.. sunairseven , anyway you keep enjoying your life don't you? =|

  • i get chills when i watch this.  brilliant short film.

  • global warming is the general term everyone uses. so it does NOT make me an imbecile you nerd. gay actually means happy, so i would be an imbecile to call you gay instead of homo wouldnt i???

  • i'm channeling thomas edison right now & he is really angry about this!

  • he says he put a lot of hard work into inventing the light bulb, and this movement is ruining his good name!

  • he thinks we are very ungrateful for the light bulb... he's crying! omg, what should i do?

  • he's asking me to tell you that he begs of all of us to think of him each time we turn on the lights.

  • this was a fucking joke....toronto said they were gonna participate but they only did a lil...they left all street lights on and lcbo stores kept lights on...fuck this shit...either do it right or dont do it at all....fuck this bs and fuck this world i hope we all die dec 12th 2012....hell here i come bitch!

  • lolwut?

  • I feel horrible, I really wanted to turn my lights off but I had my finals due the next day and really needed the light. =(

  • your gay

  • its ok, at least u tried. except some people. *coughs* chris661133 *coughs*

  • lol

  • Hopefully you wrote in the fianls what a FRAUD this man made global warming is, because in WW2 when man made carbon output was at its highest ever, the temperature was down, indicatiing that THE SUN AND THE OCEANS are the cause of global warming, NOT MAN KIND!

  • do you know what a greenhouse is? the pollution we put into the air orbits the earth because of gravity. okay... therefore heat is trapped... therefore the temperature of the air rises. the earth's tolorable climate allows man to live here. climate goes up, man eventually will die. the oceans heat, the heated water rapidly melts the ice caps. yes, the earth goes through heating and cooling cycles, but global warming is like a wrench in that cycle. do you understand now?

  • Chris is right you are gay.

  • how?

  • Mr. Fraudy and I took our bikes in for a tune up today, as soon as this Seattle weather makes up its mind whether it is Spring or Winter, we plan to ride our bikes for short trips to the market or to our favorite breakfast spot instead of using the car. Unfortunately, we both work too far from home to bike to work, but we do have a great public transport system here! Keep up the great tips - this video is a much more worthwhile cause than that other one. ;-)

  • Best gas mileage recommendation - commute by BIKE! Not the motor kind, but the leg driven type.

    It may be hard to convince your new driver to ride his/her bike, but if you make them pay for the $4.00/gallon gas, they may find incentive!

  • Removing roof racks will reduce drag and make you more aerodynamic thereby increasing gas mileage.

  • Remove excess weight when they are not being used. Store the bowling bowl in the closet, don't keep the golf clubs in the trunk and if you can leave the spouse and a few kids at home - I guess that will help too! lol

  • Properly inflated tires increase rolling resistance.

  • Techniques such as taking your foot of the gas pedal to coast up to a red light and while on the highway, setting your cruise control at the speed limit or below will result in better mpg in ANY vehicle.

  • Ecodriving and hypermilling are techniques to get the most out of every drop of gasoline in your car.

  • what is hypermilling?

  • Hypermilling is taking steps to increase the gas mileage beyond that which is expected. There are many methods used and depending on how much more mileage you can get, there are various levels of hypermillers!

  • Hypermilling

  • Morning paper words: ecodriving

  • Too early in the morning for words games, sorry.

  • Oh good heavens Press, that poor woman, she probably should consider changing her name with all the negativity surrounding that psychotic freak druggie in Ohio.

  • heh, looks like that freak is into recycling...her comments! i hope she is using an environmentally friendly "paste"!

  • LOL Freaknright. I have no idea who that freak is, but if she is the chick on your channel page, she needs to recycle her face...LOL!

  • one might think that dangerous chemicals caused her to look like that, but the truth is her ugliness comes from the core.

  • Wow...who is she, and why does she look like that? What is all over her face? She looks like the monster from the black lagoon. It looks like maggots are going to come crawling out of her nose any minute! eeeekkk =P

  • Cheryl Shuman

    Co-Chair South Peace Chapter

    BC Sustainable Energy Association

    Dawson Creek, B.C.

    A true legend and hero of North America!

  • And I also feel sorry for the real Cheryl Shuman of Canada, who apparently has the time and effort to go out and HELP her fellow man, rather than sit at a computer and stalk them (like Ohio and Calif CS).

  • The environmentalist Cheryl Shuman from British Columbia is having reports of her good works drowned out by the infamous CS on the internet.

  • So I applaud the efforts of Cheryl Shuman of Canada for trying to make a VERY IMPORTANT impact in the area of educating others about the environment.

  • ... sry that i say that BUT it is too late anyway, we, or our grandfathers and there fathers and so on, waited too long... you cant stop it now by saving water or else...

  • The Kansas Department of Health and Environment suggests five things everyone can do to have an immediate impact on the environment: 1. Recycle everything you can. Find recycling centers near you.

  • Cut back on disposables. Bring your own mug to your local coffee house. You could get a discount, and it's one less disposable cup that will end up in a landfill. Save money and cut back on the 860 million water bottles that are thrown away each week by investing in a reusable water bottle. Switch to reusable cups and dishes at home and work too.

  • Say no to plastic bags. Americans throw away 100 billion plastic bags a year. Next time you shop, take a reusable bag. The amount of oil it takes to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.

  • Save water. Run the dishwasher and washing machine only when they are full. Take shorter showers and consider investing in a low flow showerhead.

  • Start a Green Team at your school or work.

  • Countdown to Earth Hour 2009

    340 days 20 Hours 34 minutes

  • Thanks for all of the great ideas today team, tommorrow is a brand new day, lets come back and post lots more! I love this place and all my new friends. Lets make Earth Hour 2009 a day a huge success. We can all make an individual difference, but united we can change the world!

  • I started to say a day for the history books but then just said a huge success, I have a touch of ADD - LOL!

  • Another great way to save the earth is to rid it of evil filthy writhing vomit spewing demons like CS! ;)

  • Funny thing is, because of the infamous CS of Ohio and California splattering herself all over the internet, you actually miss that this is a person from Canada of the same name trying to educate the world about the environment!

  • * there is a person...

  • The South Peace Chair of BCSEA, Cheryl Shuman says that's where the carbon tax comes in. "To develop renewable energy, it's quite expensive. But as the carbon tax comes into effect, it will be ten dollars per tonne for carbon, then twenty dollars per tonne, and then by 2012 it will be thirty dollars a tonne. And even though that's a baby carbon tax (you really need a higher carbon tax to really have the impact that you want) it make the renewables on a level playing field with the carbon."

  • 5 Eco-Friendly Ways to Save Money

    1. Shop in vintage or second-hand stores.

    It's an eco-friendly way to save money because you're not consuming newly-made goods. The production of new clothes and accessories can damage land, impact ecosystems, and cause locals to be treated unfairly.

  • The additional benefit of this living green tip is you look glam in chic recycled clothes and unique jewelry. When you shop in vintage or deconstructed clothing stores, you'll enjoy both eco-friendly living and a whole new reconstructed, trendy wardrobe.

  • 2. Make eco-friendly investments.

    It's an eco-friendly way to save money because sustainable businesses, ethical investments, and socially responsible investing all attempt to enhance the well-being of our planet. Making eco-friendly investments can support renewable energy, clean transportation, recycled products and organic products.

  • The additional benefit of this living green tip is you're putting your money where your mouth is. If you really want to reduce your footprint, you'll sleep better knowing that you're making eco-friendly financial decisions. Eco-friendly living can extend to your nest egg!

  • . Join an organic buying club.

    It's an eco-friendly way to save money because you'll be cooperating with others to buy fresh veggies and fruits from a local farm. You'll support the local economy, and enjoy knowing that your food was grown in your own province.

  • The additional benefit of this living green tip is you'll savor healthy, organic, natural food at bulk prices. You'll also savetime, energy, transportation costs, and grocery store aggravation this way. Simply place your order via the internet, and your order will be delivered on a preset day. Eco-friendly living can be easy and stress-free.

  • . Use the dishwasher.

    It's an eco-friendly way to save money because washing dishes by hand uses more water and more energy than using the dishwasher. If you the heat dry cycle off, you'll save even more power.

    The additional benefit of this living green tip is you'll have cleaner dishes, since handwashed dishes contain more bacteria and aren't as clean as dish-washed dishes. Plus, you'll save money on your lower electricity bills.

  • 5. Wrap gifts in glossy magazine paper.

    It's an eco-friendly way to save money because you're not adding garbage to landfills. Paper accounts for almost 35% of landfill garbage; it's the most common form of waste. You'll reduce tree consumption when you wrap gifts with newspaper, kids' art work, leftover fabric, or old calendars.

  • The additional benefit of this living green tip is you tap into your creative side and saving money on wrapping paper. You'll also save time and energy, because you won't have to shop for giftwrap. Bonus: alternative wrapping paper is a great conversation-starter at birthday or anniversary parties! Eco-friendly living is a great way to make small talk, especially if you're shy.

  • Every day is Earth Day. Anything to help our environment is a perfect thing to do on Earth Day and every day. Don't restrict yourself to just one day a year; learn about how you can make a difference to environmental protection all the time. And put it into practice - every day!

  • Reduce, reuse and recycle all day long. Buy as little as possible and avoid items that come in lots of packaging. Support local growers and producers of food and products these don't have to travel as far and so reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Take your drink container with you, and don't use any disposable plates or cutlery. Recycle all the things you do use for the day or find other uses for things that you no longer use. Carry a cloth bag for carrying things in and recycle your plastic bags.

  • Learn more about the environment. Earth Day is a good time to make a commitment to learning more about the environment and how you can help to protect it. Borrow some library books and read up on an issue such as pollution, endangered species, water shortages, recycling, and climate change. Or, learn about a region you've never considered before, like the Arctic, the deserts, or the rainforests.

  • Think about the issues that concern you the most and if you haven't done so already, join a local group that undertakes activities to help protect the environment in your area.

  • Things to do (not just) on Earth Day:

    # Find out more about what Earth Day is about.

    # Go for a walk and pick up garbage in the neighborhood.

    # Go for a walk and pay attention to how many different kinds of plants, animals, and insects you see.

    # Organize or take part in a park clean-up project.

    # Visit a landfill and/or recycling center.

    # Plant a garden or tree.

    # Visit a nature center or wilderness area.

    # Find out about different ways to save energy.

    # Find out more about recycling.

  • Thanks for the invite surfhaglutz, I agree, time to put our efforts and energy into something positive instead of giving it to the attention whores with zero morals. Great idea to make this change on Earth Day - count me in and let me know what yo want me to do to help! :-) Anastassja The One and Only, Yours Truly xoxo

  • 'No religion, perhaps, lays as much emphasis on environmental ethics as does Hinduism. It believes in ecological responsibility and says like Native Americans that the Earth is our mother. It champions protection of animals, which it considers also have souls, and promotes vegetarianism. It has a strong tradition of non-violence or ahimsa. It believes that God is present in all nature, in all creatures, and in every human being regardless of their faith or lack of it.' Dr.David Frawley

  • Hi AFAN4U08 - Welcome to our new adventure! It is a much more worthwhile cause than our other one dontcha think?

  • Have you ever heard of a "reuse group"?

  • No Shirley...what is that? Do tell!

  • It's not a charity or a business: It's an idea that perfectly good used stuff deserves a home other than the landfill. Instead of throwing out things like furniture, dishes, bikes, and electronics, people in a reuse group give these items away for free to other people in their community who can use them.

  • Oh yeah...we have something like that here - it is called "Freecycle" you place an add for what you want to give away, and people call to come get it...really a great idea! You have to act fast tho, stuff is snapped right up!

  • It looks like you can get some really nice stuff!

  • Darn, it won't let me post a link!

  • I hate that YT won't let us post links, just put spaces inbetween the letters Shirley. Hi-ya'll thank you for inviting me to participate in Earth Day, I have never been washed so I am a bit of a recycle project all of my own ... Sam's Big Boy Panties - racer stripes and all!

  • Hey Panties...make sure when you wash that you use biodegradable soap, you can get it at Costco ;)

  • no w's, green . yahoo . com / earth-day

  • cool, it worked!

  • WOW Shirley that yahoo group is totally cool...thanks for sharing that, I will pass the word around to all my friends and family!

  • hey surf, if you liked that, you may like this link too:

    again with out the w's, earth911 . org

  • Thanks Shirley...so much to do, so little time!

  • A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step... think how much it would help if each person just did one thing!

  • cool, that carbon footprint thing even tells you what you can do to offset the amount of carbon you produce!

  • keep on spreading the word here ms. lutz! i'm off to push those pedals! ta-ta!

  • ta ta sparklgrrl - don't be a hayter! ;)

  • have you ever checked out your carbon footprint?

  • No..how would I do that?

  • just type "carbon footprint calculator" into a search engine and you will find a page that will ask you some questions about your lifestyle and some questions about your energy use, then tell you how much damage you personally do to the c02 emissions.

  • Awesome....thanks sparklgrrl, I will have to check it out! xoxo

  • Earth Day

    From Wikipedia

    Earth Day is either of two different observances, both held annually during spring in the northern hemisphere, and autumn in the southern hemisphere. These are intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment.

  • The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March equinox, a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969. A second Earth Day, which was founded by U.S. politician Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in the late 1960s, is celebrated in many countries each year on April 22.

  • In September 1969, at a conference in Seattle, Washington, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin announced that in the spring of 1970 there would be a nationwide grassroots demonstration on the environment. Senator Nelson first proposed the nationwide environmental protest to thrust the environment onto the national agenda." "It was a gamble," he recalls, "but it worked."

  • Five months before the first April 22 Earth Day, on Sunday, November 30, 1969, The New York Times carried a lengthy article by Gladwin Hill reporting on the rising tide of environmental events::

  • "Rising concern about the environmental crisis is sweeping the nation's campuses with an intensity that may be on its way to eclipsing student discontent over the war in Vietnam...a national day of observance of environmental problems...is being planned for next spring...when a nationwide environmental 'teach-in'...coordinated from the office of Senator Gaylord Nelson is planned...." Senator Nelson also hired Denis Hayes as the coordinator.

  • Each year, the April 22 Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Among other things, 1970 in the United States brought with it the Kent State shootings, the advent of fiber optics, "Bridge over Troubled Water," Apollo 13, the Beatles' last album, the death of Jimi Hendrix, and the meltdown of fuel rods in the Savannah River nuclear plant near Aiken, South Carolina -- an incident not acknowledged for 18 years.

  • At the time, most Americans were consuming leaded gas in massive V8 sedans. Heavy industry released smoke and sludge with little fear of legal consequences or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity[citation needed]. Environment was a word that appeared more often in spelling bees than on the evening news. The 1970 Earth Day helped to change many peoples' minds.

  • On April 22, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment. Denis Hayes, the national coordinator, and his youthful staff organized massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment.

  • Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.

  • Mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and lifting the status of environmental issues onto the world stage. Earth Day on April 22 in 1990 gave a huge boost to recycling efforts worldwide and helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

  • As the millennium approached, Hayes agreed to spearhead another campaign, this time focused on global warming and a push for clean energy. The April 22 Earth Day in 2000 combined the big-picture feistiness of the first Earth Day with the international grassroots activism of Earth Day 1990. For 2000, Earth Day had the Internet to help link activists around the world.

  • By the time April 22 rolled around, 5,000 environmental groups around the world were on board, reaching out to hundreds of millions of people in a record 184 countries. Events varied: A talking drum chain traveled from village to village in Gabon, Africa, for example, while hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., USA.

  • Earth Day 2000 sent the message loud and clear that citizens the world 'round wanted quick and decisive action on clean energy. Earth Day 2007 was one of the largest Earth Days to date, with an estimated billion people participating in the activities in thousands of places like Kiev, Ukraine; Caracas, Venezuela; Tuvalu; Manila, Philippines; Togo; Madrid, Spain; London; and New York

  • Founded by the organizers of the first April 22 Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide. Earth Day Network is a driving force steering environmental awareness around the world. Through Earth Day Network, activists connect change in local, national, and global policies.

  • Earth Day Network's international network reaches over 17,000 organizations in 174 countries, while the domestic program engages 5,000 groups and over 25,000 educators coordinating millions of community development and environmental protection activities throughout the year. Earth Day is the only event celebrated simultaneously around the globe by people of all backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. More than a half billion people participate in Earth Day Network campaigns every year.

  • History of the Equinox Earth Day

    The equinoctial Earth Day is celebrated on the March equinox (around 20 March) to mark the precise moment of astronomical mid-spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and of astronomical mid-autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. An equinox in astronomy is that moment in time (not a whole day) when the center of the Sun can be observed to be directly above the Earth's equator, occurring around March 20 and September 23 each year.

  • Although astronomically they occur at the mid-point of the seasons, in most cultures the equinoxes and solstices are considered to start or separate the seasons.

  • wow, there is an earth day in the fall too? huh, whadayaknow!

  • I know how kewl huh sparklgrrl? We can just plan all kinds of stuff to do here at this board! ;)

  • BTW freaknright, Cheryl is so 'yesterday's news', I have moved on to more positive ventures. It is not good to stay stagnant for so long spinning your wheels trying to make sense of the sensless. My energy and time is better spent on more worthwhile causes such as this. PEACE :)

  • yeah, but she is kinda like ferris bueller's day off, even tho it is old, still good for a laugh!

  • My sincere apologies to Andi, freaknright is none other than the most moronic sorry excuse for a man on the planet Sam Conti Jr. "high" Sam! Nope, nothing about Cheryl is funny anymore, not her, not you, not any of it!

  • sorry, i'm a bit sadistic, i still the the acid videos are funny.

  • whoops, i meant to say "i still think..."

  • omg, is this the loser comment board or wut? get a life people!

  • Hi Andi, we were wondering if you were going to show up, I see recent events have not changed you - yes, this is the dumbass and loser board, you will fit right in.

  • happy earthday/very early earth hour people!

  • hello kennboy1! happy earthday to you too!

  • Greetings kennboy1 - happy earthday and early earth hour right back at ya!

  • Our family has decided to have an hour a week whenever possible where turn off all the lights and sit together to talk or read -I encourage you all to try to do this as well...I believe every little thing helps, even if it is just to raise our consciousness of environmental issues.

    Happy Earth Day everyone! (I DIG EARTH - does anyone else remember that little guy...or is my old age showing? )

  • Impressive!  Not only is it good for the environment, but that helps build strong family bonds and instill values in your kids, great idea!

  • Happy Earth Day!

    Let's go out and clean up something polluting our environment!!

  • hi press! are you doing anything special for earth day?

  • The kids have a school inservice day and we have the neighborhood kids getting together to go to the park and pick up trash.

    Its the first time and I hope it becomes an annual event.

  • super! it
