lifeguard tower 26 - Ocean Park, Santa Monica CA

trash collected for 20 min. 

1.2 pounds 

1,291.5

7 cigarette butts

I've used these before, but haven't used them since I started my beach cleanups over three years ago. The items I find on the sand are often commonplace, yet so bizarre to end up tangled in seagrass with tiny clams hitching a ride. 

Yesterday was my birthday. Can you guess what I wished for when I blew out the candles?

In a few hours I'm speaking at Santa Monica College on their panel for Plastic Pollution in the ocean. If you're local, have the afternoon off, or want to play hookie, come on down. We're starting at 3 p.m..

ONE PERSON MAKES A DIFFERENCE. 

THAT ONE PERSON IS YOU. 

TOGETHER WE ARE A FORCE FOR UNSTOPPABLE CHANGE.
