For ISD 2009, we had approximately 30 volunteers show up to participate in a clean-up of Barton Creek, a beloved gem in the middle of Austin, Texas. Debris, recyclables, and general trash were collected and from the instream creek channel and riparian areas, and mixed use trails around Zilker Park. Following the clean-up recyables were sorted and transported to Ecology Actions recycling center.

Being Ocean Minded is something that I also go to schools and teach all year long. This year I have been to 10 schools and have given presentations to thousands of students about environmental protection and stewardship. Afterall these students are the future of being Ocean Minded. We teach them, they teach their parents, and the wheel starts turning.
The ocean is my passion. I am a proud Eastern NC native and with that pride comes responsibility. I have the responsibility to Mother Ocean to protect her through environmental education and stewardship each and every day. I also started and continue to coordinate the annual Earth and Surf Fest in North Topsail Beach, NC. It is an environmental awareness event that also incorporates a Surf Competition, Paddleboard Race, Canoe Cleanup on the Intracoastal, Beach Cleanup, Volleyball touney that benefits the Sea Turtle Hospital, and Enviro booths set up to teach about how to protect the coastal environment.
Well that is me in a nut shell. Hey don't forget to recycle!! I am also the recycle coordinator for Onslow County and the Project Director for the Environmental Indicators Report.
I cant find that photo in my files, but send me an email and I can send it via email this week.
Aloha,
