  • (1888PressRelease) September 03, 2020 - Clearwater, FL – Since the opening of the Clearwater Community Volunteers (CCV) Center in March of 2018, CCV has implemented several initiatives to create a cleaner and more eco-friendly environment for children to grow up in. By teaming up with nonprofits in the community, they have hosted environmentally-focused workshops and executed outreach projects like neighborhood clean-ups over the last two and a half years.

    “Taking care of the environment is a subject of interest, not only to people in Clearwater, but the world over.” said Michael Soltero, Manager of the CCV Center. “It takes a collective effort on the part of many individuals and organizations, each taking responsibility for a sector of their own, to start a movement towards maintaining our surroundings.”

    With nonprofits such as National Community Services, Inc. and The Way to Happiness Association Tampa Bay, CCV organizes activities for families and youth. By way of example, no-cost gardening workshops taught by a master gardener with over 50 years of landscaping experience or community service projects like their recent grounds clean-up of a community garden in Clearwater. All efforts were done on a volunteer basis by interested individuals whose aim is to improve and preserve Clearwater’s natural beauty.

    CCV’s community center works with over 100 nonprofits working together to bolster their efforts at handling various social ills. Nonprofits and volunteer groups can use the center’s facilities at no charge by contacting the CCV Center directly.

    Soltero said, “According to Earthday.org, ‘About 9.9 billion tons of carbon dioxide are emitted each year by factories, power plants and cars burning fossil fuels, while 15 million acres of forest are deforested annually worldwide—that’s 36 football fields per minute.’ So it’s easy to see that individual actions go a long way as Humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard describes here: ‘The litter which messes up the terrain and water supply, the dead brush which invites fire, these are things one need not contribute to and which, in idle moments, one can do something about. Planting a tree may seem little enough, but it is something.’”
