Join Hands Across the Sand Saturday

What do you think about oil drilling off the Gulf Coast? If you are against it, you may want to join a popular outdoor event Saturday.

People favoring green energy and opposing offshore oil drilling will meet Saturday, Aug. 4, at the Pinellas County Beach Park in Indian Rocks Beach for a Hands Across the Sand event to voice their opinion.

Registration begins at 11 a.m. and the event starts at noon.

The annual gathering encourages the use of green energy and discourages offshore oil drilling.

The human line of hands intends to "send a powerful message to leaders that expanding oil drilling is a dirty, dangerous endeavor," according to Hands Across the Sand.

Hands Across the Sand began in Florida shortly before the oil spill in 2010. Since then the movement has grown to include 32 states and more than a dozen countries.
