Organizing A Cito Event

[+MissJenn]

Go to http://www.geocacher-u.com/caches/cito.html to read about "Organizing a CITO Event."

There's no better way to reinvigorate your local cachers than putting together a CITO event in the spring. The season is perfect-you've got a good shot at some great weather—and cachers are ready to get going again after a long winter's hibernation.

I found some other links for other groups that organize clean ups, and some of those have great links in them

 

Wisconsin's River Clean

 

Chicago Clean Up

 

Marine Debris in Canada

 

Litterbug.org

 

Center for Global Environmental Education

 

quoted from that site:

Step-by-Step Instructions

There's more to a successful clean-up than heading off with a garbage bag in hand.

 

1. Identify a site that needs a clean-up, and get permission.

2. Scout out the site and create a map to divide up assignments.

3. Plan to have collected trash hauled away.

4. Assemble bags, gloves, first aid kits, and other equipment.

5. Arrange transportation.

6. Clean up. Be safe.

7. Reflect and celebrate.

 

This is just a miniscule sampling of the 1,850,000 hits that google brought back. One thing I noticed on a lot of the sites I visited is that the children are involved. And they are smiling. So in the words of Crosby Stills nash and young, Teach your children well. I hope to see you all out there in April!
