Beach and river clean ups
46
During the first two years, RVA was in the cleanup business. To address the
community actions that were decided during the “Let’s Talk Green” events, beach
and river cleanup actions were carried out along with a bigger “Trash March” and
a cleanup competition among 8 North Leeward Schools.
Every time RVA made a community action, the media was invited to document
and bring it to the public.
