There's some big changes happening at Wrightsville Beach including the rebuilding of the weather-worn Crystal Pier. Since the pier has been a part of Wrightsville Beach for over 70 years, I'm super happy that the pier is being repaired and rebuilt even though I'm not a fan of the litter that blows off the pier from Oceanic restaurant. (hoping this year will be different!)
At least one thing will be different this year... and not to get excited too early... but today I had a record low cigarette butt count!! 25 cigarette butts in 20 minutes! Ok... ok... I know peak season isn't here just yet... but I'm happy nonetheless. Only time will tell if the smoke-free beach ordinance continually helps to significantly reduce cigarette litter at Wrightsville Beach. I'm optimistic :)

YAY! I think you can be optimistic about the record low count! At the very least, some smokers may have realized the damage they were doing and decided to be more responsible on thier own.
ReplyDeleteThe work environment is very good, the sea breeze blowing at the beach is a very good thing!
