Open Thread: On Earth Day, how will you help keep LA clean and green?

Welcome to Open Thread, wherein we pass the mic to readers to speak up about topics of interest, distress, horror, etc. Have something you want discussed? Let us know.

With Earth Day coming up on Saturday, we’re opening the floor to our readers to get some ideas for activities that people can do to keep LA clean and beautiful this weekend and all year long.

We’re looking for suggestions of activities geared toward any and all skill levels and abilities, for actions big and small. Whether it’s picking up trash at the beach, planting a tree, or organizing to create a neighborhood park, we want to hear it.

We’re especially interested in actions that you, our readers, are personally taking to keep LA clean and green. If you have photos to share, please upload them in the comments!

We’ll be taking suggestions through Friday, when we’ll collect all of the best answers and use them to make a post so other Angelenos can get some ideas for ways to improve the city on Earth Day and into the future.
