The American Chemistry Council, Arlington, Va., has announced that its Plastics Division, along with the Progressive Bag Affiliates and the Plastic Foodservice Packaging Group, have contributed $100,000 to the LA River Keepers program, a Los Angeles-based group.
The goal of the program, developed in partnership with the Los Angeles Community Development Department and the Bureau of Sanitization, aims to restore the Los Angeles River.
"Thanks to this new partnership, the LA River Keepers program will be able to continue its efforts to remove and recycle litter and debris from the beautiful LA River and promote environmental education, as well as provide ongoing opportunities for job skills training for our area youth," says Bruce Saito, executive director of the LA Conservation Corps.
