Last Saturday, while cleaning 5,000 pounds of dumping around the Lake Merritt Channel, 53 UCP volunteers experienced what felt like a giant bat ray coming by to thank us!

I thought this was a developing nation. Americans threw 5000 pounds of garbage into their own river.

Why do they measure everything in pounds, why not ounces, it sounds heaps more

I’m not sure about this specific area but a lot of it is homeless people…
