00:04.240 --> 00:06.990
dark skies and a little bit of rain .

00:06.990 --> 00:08.879
Didn't stop these volunteers from

00:08.879 --> 00:11.046
coming out to support Heroes of Planet

00:11.046 --> 00:13.470
Earth or Hope 201 volunteers to be

00:13.470 --> 00:15.610
exact more than doubling the turnout

00:15.620 --> 00:17.676
from hopes first cleanup project two

00:17.676 --> 00:19.731
months ago , when you have that many

00:19.731 --> 00:21.731
people , you want to make sure that

00:21.731 --> 00:23.620
it's organized and people feel as

00:23.620 --> 00:25.676
though it was worth their time to be

00:25.676 --> 00:24.830
out here . So I had to ensure that

00:24.830 --> 00:27.052
everybody had a trash bag and a pair of

00:27.052 --> 00:29.480
gloves , a rake and some direction on

00:29.480 --> 00:32.030
what to do . The area was divided into

00:32.030 --> 00:34.000
manageable sections , some cleared

00:34.000 --> 00:36.222
overgrown plants and found trash in the

00:36.222 --> 00:39.790
cove area on the beach .

00:39.800 --> 00:41.911
Volunteers combed the sand , both her

00:41.911 --> 00:44.760
beauty and for trash . Others cleared a

00:44.760 --> 00:46.860
path covered by plenty of vegetation

00:48.040 --> 00:51.090
and a few even searched the water . It

00:51.090 --> 00:53.257
took about three hours to collect more

00:53.257 --> 00:55.990
than £2,300 of trash . A big

00:55.990 --> 00:58.212
accomplishment to what started out as a

00:58.212 --> 01:00.546
not so pleasant day . It did rain on us .

01:00.870 --> 01:03.170
A lot of people went under shelter .

01:03.170 --> 01:05.281
But you know what ? There was nothing

01:05.281 --> 01:07.448
that was going to dampen the spirit of

01:07.448 --> 01:06.960
the people that were out here today .

01:07.140 --> 01:09.196
Mr baker also said if anything , the

01:09.196 --> 01:11.251
rain may have energized the group to

01:11.251 --> 01:13.418
get things done . He believes everyone

01:13.418 --> 01:15.362
leaves a mark wherever they go and

01:15.362 --> 01:17.307
there's nothing more satisfying to

01:17.307 --> 01:19.529
leave a positive mark , especially in a

01:19.529 --> 01:21.751
beautiful place like Toguchi Beach Tech
