OK, who has Jennifer Aniston's email address? Manger's email? Something? come on Jen - PLEASE STOP ENDORSING BOTTLED WATER
Whitney brought this really cool trash picker. It is called the "Gopher," and I will be on the look out for one of these jems. It picks up tiny bits of plastic with very little effort. Could save my back some grief....
The Styrofoam cup....people bring them to the beach all the time, although it still stumps me to see them out here. REMINDER - ACTION ALERT - GO TO HEAL THE BAY AND SUPPORT AB 1998 - CA FIRST STATEWIDE SINGLE USE PLASTIC BAG REDUCTION ACT IS BEING VOTED ON THIS WEEK. THAT'S TWO DAYS LEFT! YIKES! CALL YOUR CA SENATOR TODAY
Jessica from Heal the Bay, the sponsor of AB 1998, wrote a great piece that Your Daily Thread put up today. They used a photograph I took of a single use plastic bag on Aug. 23 - yup that is just two days ago. Here's the link.
So very Awesome!!! What an example you all set for me...and...you all make it look so fun!
ReplyDeletethanks for the kind comment. glad to find you on twitter! if you ever want to do a cleanup in hawaii and send me the pictures, how much you collected and what you thought that would be great!
ReplyDeletehey Sara - great idea to do it almost every day for 20 minutes. If everyone would do it the beaches would look a bit different. I am doing it at the baltic sea. Not everyday but often. I recycle the trash into collages. It makes the people think twice - awarness!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fabulous! Will you send me pictures of the collages that you make? I'd love you to do a daily ocean style beach cleanup on the baltic coast. that would be amazing. thanks for commenting and please stay in touch!
ReplyDeletethanks
Sara
We used to have a "gopher"!! My brother used to use it when he was in landscaping and had to pick up litter while he was on the mower!! My kids broke it years ago ;(... I think that maybe NOW is the time to invest in a couple... because besides the 20 minute clean-ups....We're going to adopt a beach access!! :D
