Time: 10:30am-12:30pm

Location: River des Peres

Project Type: Clean-up project

Description: https://fb.me/e/2Jzm2Ym4H LET’S PICK SOME TRASH OUT OF THE RIVER CLEANUP - River Des Peres - We skipped January so we really need to step up our ‘trash pickin’ up game’ as to not let the trash win. AND IT IS. THE TRASH IS WINNING! It’s choking our rivers and waterways and we need to protect our environment so future generations can enjoy clean water and air in a way we couldn’t. Join Blue2Blue Conservation for a couple of hours of good family fun along St. Louis’ own River des Peres and get your hands dirty making it a magical place to be. River des Peres will be supplying the garbage and we’ll be supplying all the tools needed to remove the pollution. Afterwards, stick around and have some libations (adult + kids) and we’ll talk trash and solutions to the planet’s problem. EXTRA We will also be selling our Soap2Clean (super-quality, handmade soap) which helps us continue these cleanup efforts and every box sold removes another 5 gallon bucket of trash from the waterways. $20 = 4 bars = 5 gallons litter removal Where: Germania & I-55 - River des Peres Greenway, 38.554783, -90.270871 @greatriversgreenway Parking: Small parking lot at site along the greenway or park across the street When: 10:30am - 12:30pm (drinks can go longer sometimes.)
