Don't miss Planet Southie's 10/10/10 Broadway Clean Up

At 10:10 am on 10/10/10, members of Planet Southie, the West Broadway Neighborhood Association, the South Boston Youth Ambassadors and others will meet at Broadway T station and then walk down Broadway to L Street, picking up litter and recycling along the way.

• We will carry copies of the Mayor's Climate Change Pledge for people to sign as well as surveys about public transportation.
  
• Youth Ambassadors will be visiting shops along the way, asking shopkeepers to sign a pledge promising to keep the sidewalks outside of their stores clean.
  
• All are welcome! Sign up at the Event Website

10/10/10 is a global day of action on climate change. Events will be happening simultaneously all over the world. More information is at www.350.org.
