Video: Gin, Dancing Lobster Encourage Redondo Beach to Take Challenge

Redondo Mayor Mike Gin released a video Wednesday to encourage more people to take the Wyland Foundation's Mayor's Challenge.

Gin's video, which features a dancing lobster, comes about two weeks after Mission Viejo Mayor Dave Leckness in his own video.

The challenge, which ends April 30, asks people to pledge to conserve water and reduce waste by taking shorter showers or bringing reusable bags to the grocery store. The city with the highest percentage of residents who participate in the challenge wins.

Prizes include Disneyland passes, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim tickets and half-price admission to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach.

As of Wednesday night, Redondo Beach ranked third and Hermosa Beach ranked second in the challenge, according to the page shown after a person takes the pledge. The city of Vernon, with a population of fewer than 100 people, ranked first.
