Arakawa River clean up Sept 4, 2022

Six volunteers turned out for today’s Arakawa River clean up at Funabori and collected 31 bags of trash. Our first day back on the 1:00pm start and it was HOT, actually humidity seemed to be a big part of the problem, so we spent the first hour on the backside of the Nakade island under the shade of the shade of the C2 highway. Then after a break we ventured out to the pods, and fortunately just about that time clouds moved in blocking the sun and the Tokyo Bay/river breeze made things bearable and event a bit cool. There is always a trash pile in this areas, and I think fishermen are picking trash from the river and throwing it there. Finally, we did a little work on the area next to the embankment, which is our main target, weather/tide permitting. There is still so much work to do there.
