35、 the shores of Washington, D.C.s Anacostia River with her elder sister and a friend. Wearing gloves to protect their hands, they filled garbage bags with everything from fishing line and dirty plastic bottles to old grocery bags. The girls and about 150 others were volunteering in the International
36、Coastal Cleanup, an annual event that raises awareness of the importance of keeping the worlds waterways and oceans clean.The cleanup was sponsored by an organization called the Ocean Conservancy that works to protect ocean animals and their homes.

39、 just a few hou rs along three miles of shoreline. “When you hear about a coastal cleanup all you think is that you have to pick up trash,” says Cammy. “But then you get there and find out it is actually fun!
