During a time when there is a lot of uncertainty about the future of Oakland, one local engineer has been trying to spread some civic pride in his hometown and across the rest of the Bay Area.
Among all of the trash that littered the corner of 17th St. and Brush St. in Oakland , is a Bay Area treasure. His name is Andy Wang. Andy makes his living as an engineer in Livermore, but he lives to beautify Bay Area communities by cleaning up hot spots for illegal dumping. 'It just doesn't have to be this way,' he said. 'I just want to help out the community. Nobody deserves to live in an environment where there is trash and other disgusting things laying around.
'We've been working up here for about 6 months, we've pulled about 18 tons of litter and illegal dumping off the mountain.' He, too, is on a mission for solutions, to a trash and illegal dumping problem that plagues the mountain. 'I think trash like this sends a message that we don't care about our common areas,' he said.
