Coastal Cleanup Occular Visit c/o Vic Manlapaz
Join the 1st Coke Philippines International Coastal Clean-Up on Sept. 20, 2008 SAT 6AM, and help start a sea change.
The International Coastal Cleanup, organized by The Ocean Conservancy, is the world’s largest volunteer event of its kind. Last year, 378,000 volunteers from 76 countries and 45 states cleared six million pounds of trash from oceans and waterways and recorded every piece of trash collected.
This September 20, 2008, Saturday at 6AM, Coca-Cola Philippines invites you, your family & friends to be one with us and thousands of volunteers world-wide in a globally-coordinated event, as we clean up an area of the Manila Bay in San Dionisio, Paranaque located near the Cavite Coastal Road to demonstrate our commitment to clean oceans and waterways.
The event is expected to begin at 6AM in the morning, and will finish before lunch-time.
To join, simply form a team of your friends and group yourselves into a team of FOUR (4) members each.
Among yourselves, please select a Team Leader with whom we can coordinate with and pass on the event-related materials, forms, and other updates.
There is no limit to the number of teams you can form!
Once you have formed your team, please send me a list of your team members complete with cellphone #’s and email addresses.
We would to like to get a headcount for this activity that we may coordinate better with the Ocean Conservancy’s Philippine Coordinating Organization, the International Marinelife Alliance Philippines (IMAP), and the DENR.
Once I receive your list, I will immediately send you a PowerPt Presentation which will provide you and your team more information on what items to bring with you on Sept. 20.
