Volunteers Remove 2,000 Lbs Debris from Coconut Grove

Dozens of young professionals removed nearly 2,000 pounds of debris from Coconut Grove's coastline on Sunday, October 11, working to clean beaches near Vizcaya Museum & Gardens and Kennedy Park.

The World Mission Society Church of God's Young Adult Worker Volunteer Group, known as ASEZ WAO (Save the Earth from A to Z, We Are One Family), organized the cleanup.

Gabriel Perez of ASEZ WAO said the group holds itself to a high standard. "We live in the greatest city in the entire world," he said. "This is important not just for us, but for the wildlife in the water as well."
