Oh look! Another single use plastic bag. 2 in 20 minutes, but I saw many more being used and since I went to the beach earlier than usual when people were still camped out on the sand, I have no idea if all of those folks took their trash with them. One reason I like going around sunset....
Another reason I like being out on the beach towards the very end of the day is that it is hot walking around in regular clothes with everyone else in the water! And although I am sure it helps that people see what I am doing, i have to say I feel a little self conscious roaming around people's blankets and towels.....

The waves for body surfing were absolutely perfect yesterday.
Disturbing fact about single use plastic bags - in LA county we use 6 BILLION a year. Less than 5% get recycled. Even if you had the best recycling rate in the world - which is about 2/3 - you still have 2 BILLION plastic bags that don't biodegrade EVER that choke the landfills and ruin our ocean's habitats....let's give our state Senators a call, shall we?
