Kensington Street Cleanup
Sunday, January 17th, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
An announcement from Robert Elstein
To the People of Kensington,
We are going to be walking down each & every block of Kensington, cleaning all of the trash we encounter on Sunday 1/17 beginning at 11:00 a.m.!We will clean all of Kensington in only 90 minutes!We need 28 volunteers for the job! We will set up 14 teams of partners who will walk together with a garbage bag or two & gloves. Bring a friend! Or, come prepared to meet someone new! Or, perhaps meet lots of new people!
Meet up at McDonald and 18th avenues.
Cleanup is the most fulfilling way to make a quick impact on our environment. It’s also a great workout & good socializing! However, due to the pandemic all participants must be physically distanced & masked.We will have extra masks & garbage bags but please bring your own gloves & hand sanitizer.(Gloves: we recommend a cheap pair of water resistant, large-fitting gloves, such as the $3.99 ones you can get at the 99 cent store. Plastic disposable gloves are often hard to put back on if you take one off.)Grabbers and plastic buckets are also great tools for the trade, if you have them!This whole thing is inspired by you, the incredible people of Kensington, because we all deserve way better than the City is providing.A cleaner environment in Kensington can improve our emotional well-being, our creativity, even our relationships to others in our community. What we do on Sunday will have a long lasting effect.I would like to recruit several volunteers to serve as block captains for the day. If you would like to help out in this way, please reach out to me at robert.elstein@gmail.comLet’s do this!Sincerely,Robert Elstein
