In 1984, Oregon residents Judy Neilson and Eleanor Dye initiated the "Plague of Plastics," the first statewide beach cleanup in the U.S., rallying volunteers to prevent 52,000 pounds of litter from polluting the ocean. Over three decades, the event evolved into the Beach and Riverside Cleanup, extending to inland areas and watershed restoration projects, becoming a model for cleanup efforts nationwide and globally.
