6th International Coastal Cleanup Day 2013

In 2012, more than half a million volunteers participated, collecting more than 10 million pounds of trash and covering a distance of nearly 18,000 miles. Many of the most commonly found pieces of trash include items we use every day from food wrappers to beverage containers to plastic bags.

Volunteers cleaned coastal beaches and inland waterways in 97 countries and locations all over the world. Of the top 10 Participating Countries Dominican Republic came in 5th world wide. 2 thumbs up to the Dominican people!!!
