Like the tango, trash cleanups are a two-step. First you bag filth, then you gracefully pirouette and use that cred to demand change. And like every good dance, it's better with friends!

If you'd like to join our furry little pack, keep an eye on our Cleanups page or email me to be added to our list. Or, if you'd like to get your paws dirty with some good old fashioned direct democracy, here's who to contact about our respective sites. Keep your message friendly and short, send pics, and talk about how trash affects you personally!

Grizzly Peak:
- The UC Regents;
- Cal's Office of Sustainability;
- Cal's Facilities Department and its head, Felix DeLeon ([email protected]);
