Saturday is looking like the perfect day to hit the beach, reaching temperatures in the mid-80s and the annual Adopt-A-Beach cleanup day.
There’s still time to register to participate. Volunteers are needed at beaches up and down Chicago’s lakefront, from Hollywood Beach to Calumet .
Sprucing up the beaches is serious business. According to the alliance, plastic accounts for roughly 85% of litter collected at beach cleanups, putting volunteers on the front lines of keeping these pollutants out of Great Lakes water. The cleanups got their start 31 years ago, but the alliance didn’t begin keeping tabs on the amount of litter gathered until 2003. Since the organization began tallying the trash by weight, more than 490,000 pounds have been collected. This could be the weekend that pushes the total over the half-million mark, organizers said.
