Come Clean The River

Promoting the cleanup

Come clean up the Los Angeles River with me on Saturday! I will join the Pacific American Volunteer Association (PAVA) at 9:00 am where Fletcher meets the river. I'd love to see you there. If you can't make it to that site, this page at the Friends of the Los Angeles River website can help you pick another one. Our city's history is bound to the river's path and its movements. Taking care of it is fun, it's ecological good sense, and it represents a profound and necessary shift in attitudes: turning back to the river after we've turned our backs to it for so long a time.

Blogging.la also wants you to clean up the river. And just to be clear, I will not be wearing a tie to clean up the river—the above picture was from an event promoting the clean-up last year
