Having done over 200 beach cleanups, I'm always grateful for the days when I can walk the beach relaxed.... eyes focused on the sand and not find much to pick up.
Want to help clean up our world? It's easier than making sure your trash gets thrown away. The best way to help clean up our world is to not make so much trash.

I picked up soooo much more on the south end on Thursday morning. Seems the fishermen may be the worst litterbugs yet. Beer bottles, cigarette packages, cigarette butts, dead fish, hook packages, dirty rags, socks, coffee cups to name a few.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! I went to the southend-- access 39-- on Thursday, too! However, we were there between 4 and 6:30. How far south were you? Now that bird nesting is over, I need to make it back down to 43 as the dunes get a lot of "action".
