Hands Across the Sand

Representatives from Santa Monica Baykeeper, the Surfrider Foundation, KPFK 90.7 FM, the Sierra Club, and Environment California hosted a "Hands Across the Sand" demonstration on Saturday, June 26, 2010, at Santa Monica Beach. Hands Across the Sand is a nonpartisan movement that opposes oil drilling. More than 650 sites worldwide also hosted this event. 
 
Saturday's demonstration was designed to raise awareness about the "devastating effects" of oil drilling on the environment and coastal economies.

Hands Across the Sand hopes to steer America's energy policy away from its dependence on fossil fuels. Legislative proposals include the creation of tax incentives to encourage clean energy industries and home
solar technology.
