This breaks my heart.

After coming home from Kaho'olawe, we had to work on the coastal line that U.S. Fish and Wildlife own. It hurt so much seeing the shores of a beach, full of trash.. As I walked along the beach picking up trash, I realized that one trash bag isn't going to work. Geeze, one beach clean up wasn't going to work! There was any and every kind of trash you can think of; soap bottles, fishing line, broken toys, and even toothbrushes! It was sickening looking at all the trash on the beach and knowing that no matter how hard I worked or how many hours I spent cleaning the beach, there will still be more trash..

I love doing beach clean ups because I love the beach. Anytime there's an opportunity to do a beach clean up, i'm all in. We're surrounded by the ocean so I don't understand why people would litter at the beach! You're not only hurting the people that go to the beach, but the ocean and everything living inside it. I think that whenever you go to the beach, pick up the trash you see laying on the sand. It isn't hard work, and it won't kill you.
