The webpage just crashed and all I have written disappeared :( Here is a summery of my disappeared post.
We went to summer sailstice last Saturday. It was held at Treasure Island and we arrived in the morning to set up the Hobie Cat as well as the booth. It was VERY windy. We spent much time tying everything to the boat stand so that they wouldn't fly away. Because of the weather, the turn out was much smaller than expected. Nonetheless, the people who showed up had given us great support either in the form of donation, buying our chocolate covered pretzels or simply talking to us. I am glad that we could spread some plastic pollution knowledge on the day.
Apart from promoting Sea Scavenger at the booth, we also have interns at trash stations, educating people about trash management. People were very cooperative when we tried to teach them what should be thrown in which bins.
Here is Genea at one of our trash stations :)
By the time we finished, we were freezing in the wind. As you can see from the picture, I borrowed Lorraine's huge and very warm jacket. Thanks Lorraine! There was a lot of food left and the organizing committee gave us a generous amount of chicken. Food for a few weeks!
