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.
