Celebrating Earth Day and Creating a Safer Environment
The Californer/10314473

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- An Earth Day clean-up took place on the 19th of April around the Bristow Park, in Commerce, in coordination with the City of Commerce, Bridge Publications (publisher of L. Ron Hubbard's non-fiction works) and the Commerce Evening Lions Club.

The City of Commerce, known as the Model City, participated in the international endeavor to protect the environment and make a safer place for its citizens. The volunteers, wearing safety equipment and using tools provided by the city, cleaned away dead leaves and brush surrounding Bristow Park to handle any potential fire hazard and improve the area.

City Council Member, Mr. Hugo Argumedo, helped coordinate the initiative, and personally joined in the clean-up.

Bridge Publications organized the activity and provided refreshments as well as The Way to Happiness booklets to all volunteers. In the chapter "Safeguard and Improve Your Environment," the author L. Ron Hubbard wrote: "Care of the planet begins in one's own front yard. It extends through the area one travels to get to school or work. It covers such places as where one picnics or goes on vacation. The litter which messes up the terrain and water supply, the dead brush which invites fire, these are things one need not contribute to and which, in otherwise idle moments, one can do something about." And this is exactly what was done to create a safer environment.

Mr. Hugo Argumedo expressed his gratitude to the participants saying, "I was truly honored to collaborate with Bridge Publications, the Commerce Evening Lions Club, City of Commerce Public Works staff and other members of our business community along with other Commerce residents. We put in a tremendous amount of hard work and enjoyed the positive experience. Our collective efforts led to a successful community clean-up, highlighting the power of teamwork. I am looking forward to our next event, where we can unite once more as a strong, cooperative team."
