You can help by sponsoring a bucket of trash on our website.
After seeing the negative impacts of human pollution on our oceans while sailing and diving, we are joining the efforts to stop it where it starts - in our rivers, streams, and storm drains.

These dedicated Trash Haters got dirty in the creek bed today to clean all kinds of litter from Deer Creek (which flows to River des Peres to the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico). Great work, team!
Plus, some unique sculptures awaited us under the bridge joists!
I just checked out the site for Sunday's cleanup and there's a bit of tall brush we'll be in and out of so we're recommending long pants and maybe a long sleeve shirt too.
Also, parking is at 145 E Waymire Ave, which is the parks departments lot. We'll have our tent up and signs out so you know where we're at.
Looking forward to seeing all you eco warriors!

This planet is a pretty freakin’ amazing place. Let’s all work to keep it that way.
Happy Earth Day… today and every day. 🌎💚

We need more help! We need more eco-warriors and trash haters! We need to clean our rivers and oceans! So, it’s collab time! That’s right, we’re getting together with Webster Groves and many other fine organizations to get the Lorraine Davis Park Cleanup underway.
More details at 🔗in bio!
As always, this park runs along the infamous Deer Creek, which is a tributary of River Des Peres, which flows into the Mississippi River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico, which whales, dolphins, coral and other awesome ocean creatures live in - which is why we’re stopping pollution at the source. And it needs some attention.
Due to a conflict in our calendar, we are having to reschedule our April 8, Rootwad Park cleanup to another date. So sorry if you were really looking forward to it, but please keep your eye on Fbook & Insta for the new time.

Update on Deer Creek: unfortunately KCI Construction has allowed this pollution into the creek and are doing a poor job at containing it. I’m not sure if the City of Brentwood, MO knows enough of the problem yet. Call and share and increase awareness!!

Saddened to say that on March 6, one day after B2BC’s cleanup at Deer Creek park that a bridge was demolished upstream and filled the already contaminated creek with styrofoam bits.
All the work our volunteers did was basically for nothing because of bad management. Time to get a bit angry and start calling those in charge!
