Pitch In To Cleanup Your Community

Make Your Own Green Cleaners
If you want to clean green, you can make your own natural products at home. For example: to make furniture polish, mix olive oil and vinegar in a one-to-one ratio and polish with a soft cloth. For more green cleaner recipes, click on www.HealthyChild.org.

Come Clean San Diego Calendar
You can help 10News and San Diego Come Clean by buying a copy of the Come Clean Calendar for your friends and family. 10News joined with our community partners to bring "Come Clean San Diego" into the San Diego school district. Students were invited to participate in an art contest, designing pictures to show why it is so important for all of us to make a difference and keep San Diego clean for years to come. Your $5.00 donation will benefit local environmental groups who work hard every day to clean up our beautiful city. To purchase your calendar please visit 10News from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. located at:
4600 Air Way
San Diego 92102
All calendar proceeds benefit I Love a Clean San Diego, San Diego Art Institute –- Museum of the Living Artist, California Coast Keeper and Keep California Beautiful.
