TRASH MOB CALENDAR

by

trashmobAfter some calendar scribbling, Chandler and I have put together a tentative schedule of trash mobs for the rest of 2013. Please do let us know if there are any scheduling requests or feedback that might help us gather more support at the mobs. These are by no means set in stone, so they can be moved around for the most part (all except for the 10/26/13 mob at Coliseum Park). Also, we can put together evening mobs as well if that works better for people.

Here is the rundown for the upcoming mobs, which are posted on our Facebook page’s calendar. Note the hyper-linked mobs have official FACEBOOK events set up already.

9/27/2013 N. Rampart and St. Ann

9/29/2013 St. Charles and Louisiana

10/6/2013 Gert Town
10/13/2013 Carrollton and Canal Mob
10/20/2013 Lighthouse Mob
10/26/2013 Coliseum Park, ISL
11/3/2013 APEX Central City Mob
11/10/2013 New Orleans East Trash Mob, Crowder and I-10, Dwyer
11/17/2013 Trash Mob at the Fly
11/24/2013 Irish Channel Mob
12/1/2013 Claiborne and MLK
12/8/2013 Lower 9th Ward Trash Mob

12/22/2013Freret
12/29/2013Musician’s Houses
1/5/2014Second Line Mob

 

We would greatly appreciate it if you could share the events with your followers and networks!

Participants are encouraged to bring their own gloves and garbage bags, but we will try to bring a limited supply of extras. The trash mobs will last for about 1 hour each, but people can participate however long they would like.

Finally, our vision for the trash mob is to get the entire city doing their part all the time to keep the city clean. And as great as it is to have a group volunteers working at this once a week, it would be even greater to have many groups of volunteers working at this multiple times of the week all over the city.
So PLEASE, if anyone thinks they can take on leading their own trash mobs and needs help getting volunteers, we will be more than happy to teach you what we’ve learned and spread the word for you to our followers. Neighborhood organizations could start at one mob a month and work their way toward cleaning up more frequently. Remember, one hour is a very small portion of the week, and the more people you have, the more you can take on. And once you have you have residents who actually live in the area they’re cleaning you reach a much greater level of accountability and responsibility in ensuring New Orleans stays beautiful.

Thank you for your time and please look through the schedule as well as our Facebook events, spread the word, and come join NOLA Trash Mob!

Best,
Daniel Paschall and Chandler Moore
