"So many cigarette butts, that’s crazy!" said Jess Culpepper who was with her son while picking up litter in San Diego. They joined more than 5,000 volunteers who are also picking up trash at more than 100 sites across San Diego County, including Southcrest Community Park, for the 21st annual Creek to Bay Clean Up event. "We were watching the morning news and Evan Noorani talked about today's event, so we came out to support," said Culpepper. "What is that?" Culpepper asked her son as he picked up a black metal tube. "That does not belong here! It's metal, throw it in the trash. Thank you, very good," she said. The event is put together by the non-profit I Love A Clean San Diego. CBS 8 is a proud partner and supporter of the event. CBS 8's own Shawn Styles and Evan Noorani emceed Saturday's kickoff.
