  2. Message to my clean up friends:
    Beautification images can be as or more motivating than images of trashed environments. Start with values (beautiful natural litter free settings) and drive behaviors that will sustain the values. Overuse of images of litter might backfire by discouraging some people and convincing others, that littering is an accepted and normalized behavior.
    I like the before and after approach. Or at least a mix of showing the possible, expected, desired, and at other times showing the unacceptable offensive break in normal societal behavior-littered landscapes.
    Thank you for showing the desired views-they are beautiful, relaxing and look to be healthy. They are an inspiration to continue to pick up littered trash and to inspire the community to maintain an attitude intolerant of littered trash.
    Happy Thanksgiving

  3. I don't live near the beach but over Thanksgiving, we were at a beach in Milford, CT so we did some clean-up inspired by you. Found a bunch of monofilament and rope, bottles, plastic bits and pieces. No way to weigh it but probably around 6 pounds

  5. Andrea -
    so glad that you did a beach cleanup in Milford. I grew up on the coast of Conn. Thanks for sharing! And thanks for remembering to do a cleanup when you went out there. I will include your findings when I write my next post.

    Thanks again!
