The International Coast Clean-up is an organization that is set up to help the environment in the worid，especially the areas near the waters．Recently，more than a half-million vulunteers are taking part in an international movement to comb the world’s shorelines for cigarette butts, bottle caps and any other rubbish they can find．

The Intematiohal Coast Clean-up is in its 14th volunteers ready to collect more than 10 million pieces of rubbish along 19,308 kilometers of shoreline in 70 countries．

Sponsored(赞助)by the Centre for Marine Conservation and several other non—profit(非盈利的) groups and corporate sponsors, the activity is a one-day attempt to improve conditions on important waterfronts.

Cigarette butts are by far the most common item, with exactly 1.6 million picked up and counted in the last year’s clean-up．They were followed in numbers by food wrappers，plastic pieces，bottle caps and broken pieces of glass．The global event is held on the third Saturday of September．

Last year，the biggest volunteer army was in the Philippines，where nearly 300,000 people took part in the clean-up．With more than 7,000 islands，the Philippines is among the countries which have the largest shorelines．

“Around every main body of water，we have a rubbish problem，”said Sheavly，director of the Center for rubbish problem．Bad weather with some hurricane affected some plans，but thousands of volunteers were ready to go，she said．

About 20,000 divers are joining to clean up offshore rubbish，with major underwater efforts in the United States，the Philippines，Germany，Italy，Australia，Venezuela and EI Salvador．

Globally, less than 20 percent of shore rubbish clearly comes from the water. The most appears to come from land sourees.

Part of the effort is counting the rubbish．Volunteers carry cards to recond their collections，which will be piled and used for studies of how to settle the problem year-round.
