They are great! All the sand falls out, but the trash stays
My friend Danielle from It Starts With Me is also collaborating with this freebie give-away. She's collected over 45,000 cigarette butts from her local N.C. beaches and contributed over 200 pounds to The Daily Ocean's Community Count!

Beach clean ups are part of my regular routine, whether its on my run, walk or surf. I also work with students who love to clean the beach and will be so excited to share these cool bags with them!
ReplyDeleteI live on Long Island Sound in Milford,CT. I walk with my 2 year old to the beach all year long, and have always picked up garbage here and there. Last year when Hurricane Irene hit, I was astonished at the amount of trash the Sound churned up and spit out. Water bottles galore- It was so upsetting. The storm along with reading Sara's inspirational blog My kiddo and I have been cleaning up more and more, and just recently thought to myself how we could use a great bag for all trash we remove- In other words I would love one of these if it is possible to get one to CT some how! Thanks! Carrie Pennoyer Kipperman
ReplyDeleteSara, you know how I feel about the beach, sea life, and the water!... those mesh bags are definitely cool!. I may not hit S.M. but I do love Refugio and seem to just out of habit pick up trash if I see it...BTW those printed bags are gorgeous are those for sale????

Hi there! I live on a barrier island off the coast of Georgia called St. Simons Island and every year thousands of UGA fans come here to celebrate GA-FL Weekend...usually the last weekend of October. We're a tourist community, so we're happy to have them, there's just one problem. They like to party on our beach & the mess they leave behind is astonishing! We're talking 6-7 tons of trash in less than a mile of beach after just one day! In response, our community does an early morning Beach Sweep to try & get up all that trash before the tide takes it out to sea.
ReplyDeleteFor the past 3 years, my now 5 year old son & I wake up early on the Saturday morning after the big beach party and join a couple dozen others to clean up this mess. I'm hoping to teach him the importance of keeping our beaches and oceans litter free...and I believe it's working. Now, whenever we go to the beach, he always picks up whatever litter he sees and even tries to educate others. I'd truly appreciate it if you'd send him a bag...I think it would mean a lot to him to know that someone besides his mom rewarded him for doing the right thing. Thank you so much-Laura
How do I love the ocean? Let me count the ways...it's my neighborhood, my gym, my inspiration, my place, every day of the year. Today was a real beauty, clear warm water, wet salty friends, a pod of dolphins swimming a few feet away. Except today I also I stuffed my wetsuit leg with a two giant handfuls of floating plastic trash. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI would luuuuvv to have one of these bags to carry in my beach daypack. That way I would always have one handy for impromptu clean ups. I surf Sunset regularly and there is always a lot of trash there, and no trash containers. Its hard to carry all that junk up the cliff. Aloha kai.
This bag would help me a lot. I use a plastic bags when i go on my morning 3 mile beach clean ups everyday i use some of the plastic i fine to create sculptures to convey the message of keeping our beaches clean and helping marine life.The one thing i dont like is the sand that builds up in the plastic bags and the extra lbs it adds.
