Veterans Park Cleanup

✨ Long Beach, it’s that time again! We’ve got another community clean-up in the works. 🙌🏽🧹

Why? Because every piece of litter we pick up in our parks and neighborhoods is one less piece that travels through storm drains and into our ocean. Scientists estimate 80% of ocean plastic pollution comes from land-based sources, and once it reaches the water, sunlight and waves break it up into microplastics that harm wildlife, enter our food chain, and even show up in our air. We also believe our local actions truly ripple outward. 🌊

Join us at Veteran’s Park next Saturday for a morning of movement, connection, and care. 🧹

🗓 Date: Saturday, July 25th
⏰ Yoga Warm-Up: 9:10am–9:30am
🧘🏽‍♀️ Led by Long Beach Time Exchange member Micaela Salatino, who will guide us through a grounding yoga flow to get our bodies and spirits ready for collective care.

To honor your time and impact, all volunteers will earn a Time Dollar through the Long Beach Time Exchange, a community network where neighbors exchange skills, services, and support. One hour of helping at the clean-up = one Time Dollar you can use for things like gardening help, tutoring, wellness sessions, and more. It’s community care in action.

Want to join the Time Exchange? ⏰
It’s free, local, and built on reciprocity. Sign up, offer a skill, request a skill, and help strengthen the web of support in our city. 🌱

Let’s show what Long Beach can do when we move with intention and heart.
See you there — bring a friend, bring your energy, and let’s keep our neighborhoods beautiful from the park to the ocean. 💙♻️
