>First Flush

>

Team Marine was struck with great distress as news of the first flush came to our attention. For the first time since last winter, significant rains hit the Santa Monica area. The water (and trash) collected by the city’s storm drains broke the sand barrier at the Pico-Kenter storm drain and flowed into the ocean on October 5th-6th, 2010. Team Marine had an emergency meeting, and immediately walked to the storm drain site to document and clean the beach. We picked up hundreds of pounds of trash in a short amount of time, but unfortunately thousands of pounds of trash still flowed into our Santa Monica Bay.

>Santa Monica Alternative Car Expo

>

The 2010 Santa Monica AltCar Expo was Saturday, October 2nd. We got a huge group to attend the event, where our members learned about plug-in hybrids and EVs, hydrogen cell and biodiesel, etc. At Team Marine, we are all in love with eco-friendly cars, motorcycles, and trucks like these, especially the zero-emission vehicles. Kudos to Mr. Kay for signing up to purchase the Nissan Leaf. The Leaf is a zero emission car, and was a hit at the show. Thank you to Mary Nichols of the Air Resources Board, City of Santa Monica, and the car companies who have decided to partially stray from America's addiction to oil.

>QuikSCience at the IMAX

>On Sunday, October 3rd, 2010 Team Marine was invited to speak at a QuikSCience event at the IMAX theater. Other student leaders in the eco-world also spoke of their experiences, and the audience was very enthusiastic about creating eco-groups of their own. Jessica, Kou, and Aidan presented a powerpoint presentation before the main event: a free viewing of The Ultimate Wave Tahiti 3D with Kelly Slater. It was an amazingly awesome movie, and we are very thankful to Quiksilver, USC Wrigley Institute, and QuikSCience for providing us with this great opportunity.

Looking back at Roots and Shoots’ Day of Peace, all I can think is WOW! It was such a fun, educational event at the Santa Monica Pier. Numerous booths who had the common goal of saving the world were there, and everyone learned new things. We won the Best Outreach Booth, participated in the Peace Dove Parade, and spread the eco-love. We hope to continue attending Day of Peace for many years to come! Special thanks to Roots and Shoots for allowing us to be a big part of this event.

The Santa Monica Main Library got a massive helping of Team Marine on Saturday September 25th, 2010. Koodooz put on a great event with a group of speakers including Julia Brownley (we love her!), Mr. Kay, Ethan Burke of ACE, among other important figures in the Eco-World. Team Marine brought its entire REthink mural, and other types of eco-art projects. Overall, it was a very informative event, and the entire team had an amazing time.

On September 25th, 2010, Team Marine participated in Heal the Bay's Coastal Cleanup Day, which takes place the 3rd Saturday of September every year. We picked up trash for three around Station 27 at the Santa Monica Beach. Some members even entered the Pico-Kenter storm drain to pick up debris. Beach cleanups are one of Team Marine's favorite events. If you are interested in participating in beach cleanups in your area, contact your local California Coastal Commission office.
