I Love A Clean San Diego will make a presentation at the El Cerrito Community Council meeting on Jan. 16, at 7 p.m. in the Blessed Sacrament Church Parish Hall, 4540 El Cerrito Drive.
\nI Love A Clean San Diego is San Diego County\u2019s longest-running environmental nonprofit, having celebrated its 65th\u00a0anniversary in 2019. When it was created in 1954, the organization\u2019s main focus was litter prevention \u2014 the founding members called themselves the War Against Litter Committee. Throughout the years, this central theme has remained much the same, with I Love A Clean San Diego volunteers removing half a million pounds of debris from the county\u2019s neighborhoods, creeks, canyons and coastline every year. While these cleanups are still a fixture of their work, the organization\u2019s programs have evolved over the years to provide resources and education to help the region\u2019s residents reduce the amount of waste they send to the landfill.
\nIn addition to clearing pollution, I Love A Clean San Diego provides recycling\/disposal referrals through an online database (WasteFreeSD.org) and phone hotline (1-800-237-BLUE). It also has a robust environmental and zero-waste education team, which serves adults, business and school children through interactive educational presentations and workshops to more than 30,000 people annually. Through these programs, I Love A Clean San Diego aims to be an environmental catalyst \u2014 inspiring action and connecting people with each other, and the environment. Whether you want to take action to make a difference in your community, or learn about small changes you can make on a personal level, I Love A Clean San Diego is the county\u2019s one-stop resource for help.\u00a0
