Most projects begin at 9 am. Each volunteer will receive a free 2007 Earth Day tee shirt, as long as supplies last. Tools, latex gloves and bottled water will be provided. For your protection, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants and closed-toe shoes. If you have a favorite hand tool, put your name on it and bring it. If you have heavy work gloves, wear them.

Each year thousands of volunteers turn out on Earth Day to plant, prune and spread mulch in parks and school gardens, pick up trash around Lake Merritt and along shorelines, and otherwise spruce public spaces. Tons of trash get collected by volunteers, making beloved parks and schools look so much better. This year we're hoping that 4000 volunteers will devote time and energy on Earth Day! Come start the Cleaning Up at 9 am at the site of your choice. I'll start the day in Chinatown, then join Mayor Dellums at 10 am at FM Smith Rec Center to kick off the E.18th St Clean-up. Read on to see where you can volunteer. Hope to see you Keeping Oakland Beautiful!
Hope to see all of you out there this Saturday!
Sincerely,
