Volunteers Lend a Hand to Clean & Beautify Oakland 

"Oakland, CA – On Saturday, April 20, 2013 [at] 9:00 a.m. thousands of community and corporate volunteers will clean and green over 80 locations throughout Oakland at the 19th Annual Oakland Earth Day. Earth Day is Oakland’s largest community volunteer event. This year’s  activities are expected to draw over 3,500 participants, including 300 
volunteers from Starbucks East Bay. Activities include creek restoration, graffiti removal, litter pickup, weed abatement and planting. 

The first 3,000 volunteers will receive a complimentary reusable bag, as well as a Chinook Book and smart phone app that include over 350 coupons for local, green businesses in the East Bay. Volunteers can choose among the many parks, recreation centers, creeks, commercial corridors and neighborhood locations listed at www.oaklandearthday.org. 

Earth Day marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. According to Earth Day Network, 'more than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world.'"
