Speaking of smoke-free beach. I've reached a little... err... big milestone. This cleanup, I passed the 55 thousand cigarette butt mark. Picking up 113 cigarette butts pushes the current tally to 55,082 cigarette butts removed from WB! Thanks to everyone who has come out and helped do a 20 minute beach clean up!
Since beach season is in full swing, that means there's A LOT more people visiting Wrightsville Beach Contrary to what the above photo may trick you into believing, there were people everywhere on the sand and in the water on a Thursday afternoon! A lot more visitors means that there's a lot more trash littered on the beach. The beach needs all the help it can get. Want to help clean up the beach? Let's do it together!

Hey Danielle, 55.000 butts. Omg, that is unbelievable. Imagine you had not picked them up and they would still be there. What awesome work you keep doing with your kids! WB has a guardian angel in you :) greetings, Eef
ReplyDeleteHi Eef! 55,000 is a bit unbelievable! It's so reassuring to me knowing that there are so many other people all over the world-- like YOU-- helping clean up! Thank you for your camaraderie and friendship :)
