I recently did a blog entry on the international coastal clean-up and Clean Up the World day events in Sept. in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). http://www.temasactuales.com/temasblog/?p=45 Have since been working on a follow-up piece on how to sustain the education and anti-litter effort on coastlines and waterways year-round, not just once a year or seasonal ?event days.? I sent out emails to the Ocean Conservatory and several of the LAC NGOs participating in these events soliciting their ideas on how to do so. Haven?t heard back from OC (maybe they weren?t happy with my article?), but have from some of the LAC NGOs with some good input, mostly about the educational and organizational hurdles they face, but also a few good ideas about community organizations, partnerships with mayors and affected hotels and restaurants, use certification of Blue Flag as catalyst, etc. I was wondering if GreenYes participants had some ideas they?d be willing to contribute (always happy to identify sources and link to them!), either here in the forum on privately by email, or could at least recommend to me people who might? All input welcome. Thanks!

I worry about all the food service containers and utensils that are dumped into the environment becoming fish and bird food before totally decomposed.
