More than 750 Fairmont staffers accompanied by friends, family and recruits scoured inland waterways and beaches for litter on Sept. 17 as part of the 27th annual California Coastal Cleanup Day. Working with the California Coastal Commission, Fairmont led five drop-in cleanup sites (Newport Beach, Santa Monica, San Jose, San Francisco and Sonoma) where volunteers hauled off everything from baseballs to shopping carts. Other odd finds included a rubber chicken, a 1980s shoulder pad and an animal spine.
