The power of the human spirit is incredible, especially when we work together. NatDuddridgeTV takes us to a beach in Queens where CBS2 colleagues partnered with local volunteers as part of our BetterTogether campaign.
Volunteers sorted the trash into piles -- garbage or recyclables -- and formed an assembly line to haul it up the hill to a big dumpster."I think it's really just to be a part of the community and to also have, like, myself contribute to this wonderful goal," volunteer Khalil Tindley said.
The Coastal Preservation Network and Waterfront Alliance organized this team effort, trying to get the beach in shape for the summer and beyond."This isn't only about cleaning up, but it's also about learning what is physically happening at the water's edge across New York City," said Karen Imas, with the Waterfront Alliance."There are 520 miles of coastline in New York, and this really impacts how we live on a day-to-day basis.
Volunteers are also planting seagrasses to help prevent erosion and advocating for more public access to our city's miles of shoreline.
