Page 2 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 2021 An early Earth Day Cleanup WIN Waste Innovations leads a contingent of townspeople in trash pickup at Rumney Marsh Reservation By Mark E. Vogler A mericans all across the nation observed Earth Day offi cially yesterday for the 51st year. But it came two days early for 12-year-old Marissa Raposa, some of her softball friends and others who showed up Tuesday (April 20) for a cleanup organized by WIN Waste Innovations. “I’m here to be with my softball team, have fun with my friends and to pick up some trash,” said Marissa, who was hanging out in the Rumney Marsh Reservation with several teammates of the Saugus Cardinals. “We all liter sometimes. But we $2.39 have to make sure we pick it up. I learned in my seventh grade science class that some of the stuff people dump can hurt animal life and later aff ect us, so people need to pay attention to what they are doing,” she said. Teammates and friends – Sabrina Tamburello, 11, a fifth grader at Waybright Elementary School and Layla DeMonte, 10, a fourth grader at the Belmonte School – joined Marissa during the cleanup. Sabrina said she saw it as a social responsibility for her and other young people of Saugus to participate in an Earth Day event. “I came here today so I could help clean up the environment and make the world a better place,” Sabrina said. “I want to help the environment and pick up the trash so people don’t have to look at it,” Layla said. A twin mattress discarded in the marsh along with a fi sh tank were among the trash that was collected by the volunteers. “This is really the starting point” Close to 75 people – many of them from the ranks of Saugus youth organizations – showed up Tuesday for the cleanup. The volunteer work party included members of Saugus Boy Scout Troop 62, the town’s softball program, Saugus Youth Soccer and the Saugus/Lynnfi eld Youth Hockey League. Former School Committee Member Marc Magliozzi, now a member of the Finance Committee who is also involved with Saugus Youth Soccer, joined several members of his family at the cleanup.
