Today is the 48th day of the earth.

Millions have tagged the day around the world with events to increase awareness of the need to reduce the use of plastics.

Here, hundreds of people gathered in Cleveland and the surrounding area to collect garbage and remind everyone that we have only one country.

Yogatta turned around, an organization that combined yoga and volunteering with local drink, faucet spout drinks, and a dry clean at Edgewater Beach, where scores worked to pick up the trash that fills the sand.

"I want to say that we drink water, we have kids playing on the beach, they want to make sure it's not harmful, and you can see a lot of plastic, black and plastic lighters" Contreras de Lorain.

Volunteers like Jill Boyd continued to follow what was found.

"I think flossing is perhaps the most surprising thing, there are probably other things that I probably do not talk about here, but I would say that I would say silk to weave on the beach, but they do," he said. Contreras.

Elsewhere in Cleveland, during the analysis of the river Doan Brook and San Casimiro, more than two hundred sacks of garbage were collected from about 80 volunteers.

Volunteers expect everyone to make more effort to make sure their garbage ends up in the right place.

"Just collect it, there are containers, it's not that difficult, take care of your land, take care of your children," Boyd added.
