BRUTE LABS Open Source Altruism

Episode 1. Greg gets Brutes TRASHED in San Francisco's Mission


Time commitment: 3 hours
Materials: ~$14
10 trash bags - $6.49
6 Pairs of gloves – $4.99 each
Transportation - $1.10

Project Description

BRUTE LABS rolled up their sleeves on Saturday the 26th of September to clean up the streets in the Mission district of San Francisco. Traveling south-east from 17th and Shotwell st, the team scoured over 2.5 miles of city neighborhoods through the Mission district collecting, sorting and recycling trash on the street. Passers-by paused from their cell phone conversations to deliver enthusiastic thank-yous which helped motivate the team to collect an entire pick-up truck load of garbage in just over 3 hours. Special thanks to Justin To for truck duties and to Dorothy Wu for getting her BRUTE on with us for the afternoon.
