We missed Earth Day but yesterday Dave and I went over to Port's south beach to do a "clean up". I try to do this every year....just a small effort but it makes me feel like I've done something. I always amazes me that people toss so much stuff just out the car window, or along a beach....sometimes within steps of a community garbage can.
It was a nice day....and we walked quite aways along the beach. Then we went around the circle that is the small nature preserve behind the electric company. We had three bags to fill....two small and one big black one.
We were happily surprised to find that we couldn't even fill one! Now maybe someone had already made the rounds on Earth Day....but it made us feel good to see there just wasn't that much trash in this one outdoor public space.
Maybe I'll walk over to north beach sometime this coming week and see what's gathering over there.
