Beach Rescue Project

Wednesday, July 15, 2009 by Kyle Scribner

Bolsa Chica State Beach, Calif./Barefootwine.com
How do you improve on a summer stroll along the beach? How about by making it a community-bettering, soul-purifying, mood-lifting-via-free-wine stroll?

That’s just what the Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project does, and it’s coming to a surfside near you.

The project, a collaboration between Barefoot Wine and the Surfrider Foundation, encourages residents to help keep their beaches “barefoot friendly” by volunteering to clean up litter, restore dunes and plant native species.

In return (in addition to the swell of pride you get from performing such philanthropic acts) Barefoot rewards you with a post-cleanup celebration of wine, music and beach-inspired food.

The tour is hitting 25 cities across the US on Saturdays through August. This weekend, beaches in Washington, DC; Boston, Mass.; Amagansett, NY; and Long Beach, Calif. are the targeted cleanup sites.

The Boston event will be held at King’s Beach in Lynn (which could use it, apparently), 10a-1p this Saturday, followed by a party at Nahant’s Tides Restaurant from 2-4p.

Check out Barefoot’s site for details about all upcoming Beach Rescue tour stops.

About

Kyle Scribner is a born-again nature freak who also happens to be an editor at Captivate Network.

You know that exhilarated feeling you got as a kid when you would go down to the pond to catch frogs? It never really goes away; it’s just dormant. So I'm here to slap a mix of facts and borderline balanced opinion on you, to poke a stick at the nature freak slumbering in us all and maybe get him to once again come out and play.

And we might even learn a few things about the environment as we go.

About Green Among Gray

How do you commune with nature or become part of the solution to the environmental crisis when you're trapped in a cement-and-glass, gas-guzzling, power-sucking, emissions-spewing metropolis 8 hours (or more) a day? How do you go 'green' in a world of gray?

Actually, there are plenty of ways, and Green Among Gray aims to show high-rise inhabitants how they can help ease the load on the environment and on their minds by exploring natural oases, conservation tips, and other ways to stay green while working in the concrete-built world of the big city.

Look for short updates on the latest environmental news along with periodic longer features on specific places and events that allow big-city workers to get close to nature.
