THANK YOU TO MY FRIEND MARK FOR COMING OUT ON A DAY WHEN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES BROKE ITS RECORD FOR THE HOTTEST DAY ON RECORD.
GO TO HIS Bait Tank WEBSITE AND SEE WHAT HE IS DOING TO SAVE OUR OCEANS.
I'm going camping today, and I'm not going to buy bottled water. I'm feeling a little fanatical this morning as I amass all of our jars and OCEANA water bottles to fill with tap water before I head out. I WILL BE AWAY UNTIL FRIDAY - TOTALLY UNPLUGGING FROM THE WORLD - NO INTERNET, NO POSTING, NADA.
I've just finished a draft of a YA book I've been working on for almost 4 years. I am stepping away so that when I come back I can take one more look at it before - here's where you knock on wood for me - I send it in to an agent. YAY!
Thank you for all of the emails that I got from people around the country after reading the article that ran in the LA Times last Sat.. I will be highlighting some of the lists, and accounts you sent me of the trash washing up/or being left behind on your beach. I love to hear from people who read this blog, find it inspiring, or have a story to share about what they are doing. I would like to thank you so much for being in touch. Please don't hesitate to send an email, or leave a comment. I write The Daily Ocean to engage with people about how we are trashing the oceans, and what we can do in our own lives to change that. Let me know what you think!
It was the night of the water bottle. Mark and I found half a dozen in 20 minutes on a stretch of beach about the size of a football field.

People were in the water until after sunset. Like I said, downtown LA was the hottest day on record. I think the summer we didn't have this year tried to come in one day.
