PHOTO RECAP! Psycos Recycle–A Day @ Long Beach 12/18/11

{OVARIAN PSYCLES RECYCLE}

 A DAY in the LBC!

The first krew starts from Montebello Park around 1:00 PM and rides along the beautiful urban riverpath to met up with with the Southeast LA krew. They meet up on Imperial where the Rio Hondo and LA River meet on the bike path.

The cyclists stop a little over midway to partake in a stretching session and some wholesome snacking! Maryann’s got that reusable canteen! ❤

They hustle to make it in about 2 hours.

The roadside is lined with sage bushes that the girls can’t help but pick.

The group engages in some beautification at Long Beach. The group picks up trash along the shore. The majority of trash is Styrofoam which IS NOT RECYCLEABLE!

Other fun items found: a bloody tampon and a condom. EWW. Seriously, people?

So, please help reduce waste and protect the environment by riding your bike & opting for reusable containers such as a kleen kanteen or bobble water bottle, with a build in water filter (starting at 6$ online)!

This holiday season, please keep mother earth in mind and make sure your gifts are eco-friendly. ♥

Love always,

The Ovas
