Please come and help clean up Ocean Beach while participating in a community building art project. \n\nPotluck picnic reception at the north end of the beach at Kelly’s Cove around sunset.\n\nSunday, November 5, 2006 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. \n\nCheck in at two locations: Sloat Blvd parking lot at the south end of Ocean Beach, and Kelly's Cove parking lot at the north end of Ocean Beach. (Detailed directions below.)\n\nSocial Landscape’s Beach Cleanup project needs volunteers to help collect colored plastics that are mixed with the seaweed at the high-tide water mark of Ocean Beach. Volunteers will assist Banker White and crew by removing glass and waste materials other people have left behind while seeing, experiencing and respecting this beautiful beach and ocean. When the material is collected it will be sorted by color and value at the north end of the beach.\n\nFrom sunrise to sunset, film and video cameras will capture the entire spectacle in time-lapse animation from the cliffs above. Additionally, the event will be documented by still photographers and videographers who will focus on a more documentary style coverage of the event. They will document public participation, reactions to the event, while capturing this social exploration of our relationship as individuals to the environment, to our community, and to our world.\n\nThe resulting films will document an active, collaborative creative process taking place along side the passing traffic, the movement of the tides, and the rising and setting of the sun. \n\nBanker White has been walking and collecting trash from Ocean beach for the last two years. He has found that two people, working for two hours, were able to gather a full spectrum of colored plastics, paper, metal, and glass materials that covered a 10' x 7' area!\n\nThe event itself is meant to engage the public, while the documentation of the work is meant to inspire people to conserve natural resources and recycle more. \n\nSocial Landscape is interested in many varied levels of commitment, from\nthe un-expected public audience to community members involved in the beach\nclean up, to core team members who were involved with pre-planning and\nactively executing the final outcomes. Please contact us or just show up!\n\n\nHow to participate?\nJust show up. You are welcome to show up by yourself or with your group. Please come down and spend an hour or two or all day collecting trash. There will be greeting stations at the Sloat Blvd parking lot at the south end of Ocean Beach, and at the Kelly's Cove parking lot at the north end of Ocean Beach. You can pick up gloves and bags at these stations and leave your bags of garbage there when you leave. There is plenty of free parking in both parking lots.\n \nARTIST VOLUNTEERS\nIf you are interested in becoming more involved with the art animation side of this project please contact us by email: info@sociallandscape.org\n\nWhen?\nSunday November 5th.\nGreeting Stations will be attended from 9 AM to 3 PM, but feel free to come join in all day. There will be project participants at Ocean Beach from sunrise to sundown. There will also be a potluck picnic reception at the North end of the beach at Kelly’s cove around sunset. A short walk from there up to the cliff house you can get an incredible view of the beach and of our sorting animation.\n\nWhat to pick up:\n• Trash & Recyclables\nTrash is any human-created, foreign matter (plastics, metal, glass, Styrofoam, etc.). Remember to pick up even small pieces of trash, which animals often mistake for food. These items go into your trash bag. Recyclable materials will be pulled out and recycled at the end of the day. Norcal Waste Services is providing a debris box and will be taking the material to be recycled. \n\nWhat NOT to pick up:\n• Dangerous items\nDo not touch syringes, needles, any sharp objects, condoms, tampons, waste materials, weapons, heavy items, or anything of which you are not sure. Mark the area with a ring of sticks or stones and notify the person at the greeting station. When in doubt, don't touch it.\n• Natural items\nNatural items (such as algae, kelp, driftwood, shells, etc.) are part of the ecosystem that we are working to restore and should be left alone. Please avoid disturbing plants, animals and fragile dune areas. .\n\nWhen you're finished:\nReturn trash, recyclables to the greeting station to be sorted.\nTry to condense the bags and tie them closed. Please feel free to walk and enjoy the beach, and come visit the sorting animation at the North end of the beach. \n\nDon’t be shy, ask questions, start up a conversation, and come join in and help. And remember, there will be a potluck picnic reception at the North end of the beach at Kelly’s Cove around sunset. A short walk from there up to the cliff house you can get an incredible view of the beach and our sorting animation.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/10/13/18320131.php SUMMARY:Social Landscape Beach Cleanup project with SF artist Banker White LOCATION:Ocean Beach at Sloat\n\nFROM THE EAST BAY. \nHighway 80 across the Bay Bridge, drive past San Francisco exits and get on 280.
