 J.O.B. Plastic Program
Mission statement ---We are committed to stopping plastic and trash from getting into our oceans and waterways,by cleaning the streets and areas "daily" which feed contaminants into our water. Coastal cleanup day and Earth day are great but only one day a year. Just 1Block focuses this attention everyday. For example, in New Monterey only, we picked up 189lbs of plastics and recycling, headed directly into the bay, in just 19 Days.
Since 1/4/2010 we have picked up 496lbs of recycling and trash collectively.

While picking and less straws, bottle caps, plastics bottles and many other types of plastics off of streets and specifically out of the storm drains , we realized we were part of the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" problem, and had to do our part to try to keep this debris from the oceans. Once we started collected we have become almost obsessed, and really have a hard time believing how filthy thing can get
