2008 Coca-Cola International Coastal Cleanup

If people only knew how much garbage we've already accumulated, maybe (just maybe) people would start reconsidering how they handle their trash every single day. Last September 20, I was lucky to have been part of the Coca-Cola International Coastal Cleanup, organized by The Ocean Conservancy. Coca-Cola Philippines sponsored the event here courtesy of Vic Manlapaz. Ok, so I was not among those who picked up the trash along the coast of Roxas Blvd but I knew and felt the importance of cleaning up our oceans.Ü

It looked like a daunting task to clean up a single stretch of the coast along Roxas Blvd. We were literally walking over garbage when Randy and I were documenting the event but after a couple of hours, we started seeing what can be considered as "real" land.Ü

Here are some of the photos I took during the event.
