Stations, the following is

(INTRO)
Millions of pounds of trash
in waterways spoil visits for summer vacationers every
year and also choke and entangle wildlife. In fact,
Ocean Conservancy's annual beach cleanup for the last
25 years has collected enough cups, plates, forks, knives
and spoons to host a picnic for two million people.
Leo Viana, deputy director
of Ocean Conservancy's Trash Free Seas Program, says
the Fourth of July holiday is an opportunity to step
up our efforts to protect the ocean.

AS YOU HEAD OUT FOR THE HOLIDAY
WEEKEND, REMEMBER TO TAKE CARE OF OUR WATERWAYS. YOU
CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR OUR OCEAN BY PROPERLY
DISPOSING YOUR TRASH OR CHOOSING REUSEABLE PICNIC SUPPLIES.
AND BE SURE TO JOIN MILLIONS OF VOLUNTEERS ON SEPTEMBER
17TH FOR OUR INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP. WHETHER
YOU'D LIKE TO CLEAN UP ALONG THE BEACH, FROM YOUR BOAT,
OR BY DIVING BENEATH THE SURFACE, SIGN UP TODAY.
