Adopt-a-Block has grown to fifteen volunteers who have generously adopted block after block in Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada.
Their primary mission is to remove rubbish from the sidewalks and boulevards of Campbell River and nearby districts. Armed with garbage tongs, garbage bags, work gloves, safe needle containers and some a Visi-Vest, the dedicated troop of volunteers humbly remove trash and dispose of it in nearby trashcans. One volunteer has adopted a plot of land in his vicinity and another a tree along her route. The tree has been named Bonnie and she has become the group's mascot.
"We've added our community effort to the United Nations Clean Up the World campaign. It's a worthwhile thing to do," Susan said.
