We found two plastic bottle caps in the first 5 seconds of our collection. We named Day 136 - Day of the Plastic Bottle Top. We got at least 20 in 20 min.....


Does this make sense? How many sips of water do you get from a bottle this size? 3? Not like plastic water bottles make a whole lot of sense either.
PLEASE WATCH ,"THE STORY OF BOTTLED WATER." (It's about 10 minutes long, that's it!) Told by Annie Leonard who wrote, and stared in "The Story of Stuff."


Different plastic bottle, same size, and I deduce left by the same people since there was a little group of three waiting in the sand.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW TO DR. MARCUS ERIKSEN,
CO-FOUNDER OF 5 GYRES WITH HIS WIFE ANNA CUMMINS. THE WORLD IS PRETTY HAPPY YOU WERE BORN, ESPECIALLY THE OCEAN!
THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!
