Calusa Waterkeeper Encourages Year-round Cleanups, not Just on Earth Day

A local organization wants to keep the Earth Day clean-ups going.

Calusa Waterkeeper, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting some of the largest waterways in Southwest Florida, is kicking off the Big Calusa, a week-long cleanup effort of local waterways. The organization is urging people to use the hashtag #calusacleanup and post pictures on Facebook of the refuse they collect this week. Those who pick up the most trash will win awards.
