ups.Justin Imamura takes a different approach when it comes to cleaning up the city.'Okay. Always gotta have music here, there you go!' Iwamura said as a song starts playing. 'Always gotta keep the energy high throughout the entire event.'It's a mentality he borrowed from his experience as a drummer in the South Bay's punk rock scene.'I wanted to bring that same DIY do-it-yourself energy to cleaning up our world.
'They're not just picking up trash, they are building community and taking pride in our city.'Shari Hall is one of the volunteers. She was recently laid off and is spending her time between jobs on projects like this.'I've been doing this a few times now with the Trash Punx and I can see the difference every time I am out here. It gets a little bit better, a little bit better every time,' Hall said as she picked up trash along a bike path.
