The Cherry Creek River Trail Clean-Up - Oct. 25 11AM - 1PM

We have a plastic pollution problem. Doing a clean up not only helps keep our community safe and clean, but also raises awareness of the plastic pollution problem and the need to adopt local and state policies to stem the flow of plastic.

There has been a large influx of plastic pollution along the Cherry Creek Trail. Plastic kills wildlife such as birds and mammals. We want to ensure that the Cherry Creek Trail is free from pollution. We hope that by having cleanups we keep Denver cleaner and safer for everyone. We want residents to become aware of the dangers of plastics and over consumption, and hold the plastics industry accountable for the products they create.

We’ll be using a new app called TrashBlitz. This will help us gather data on what plastic we find during our clean up and that data can be used to advocate for policies at the local and state level.

We can also have a little fun doing it! Kick off Halloween and Dia de los Muertos week and come dressed in your best costume. Make sure to bring your face mask! Please make sure to have the TrashBlitz app downloaded as well :)
