The U.S. Embassy Manila’s Public Affairs Section just released a wonderful guide on how to organize a clean-up:

There are simple guidelines for what to do 1 week before the clean-up, how to organize the clean-up 2 weeks before the date, on the date, and after the date making this quick and easy! Another awesome thing about this document is that it shows you what tags will attract people to help you and to help you gain visibility to spread the word.
Litter from the streets usually makes its way to the ocean and the chances of litter harming any of the wild life on its “way to the bay” are huge and it’s extremely devastating.
There are trending Twitter, Facebook and Instagram tags right now such as #OurOcean2014 and #PHcares4oceans that can make clean-ups this year different than previous years.
Please Tweet us @wastetracking if we inspired you to clean-up #OurOcean2014 !
