Today I am happy to say, I was totally wrong about how much trash I was about to find when I walked out onto the beach. It was a clear, beautiful Saturday. Usually, there is a lot of evidence that people have enjoyed themselves at the beach, but today I didn't find one cigarette butt, or plastic water bottle. I'm shocked, happy, and feeling pretty good about finding under three pounds of trash, including this Baja Fresh wrapper.
Here's an excerpt from a Kiss My Country post that I found really interesting:
Here's an excerpt from a Kiss My Country post that I found really interesting:"Recently, technology has played a huge part in contributing to the solutions of tough global and social issues. Through social 
media, people can connect and rally around a cause and give it global recognition. In the past year, on Twitter alone, we’ve seen huge numbers of people give support to the earthquake victims of Haiti, people going green for the Iran Elections, and going red for World AIDS Day. Garnering this much support raises awareness of the issues, encourages discussion, and gets us that much closer to a solution."
