The beach is NOT a garbage can.
i'll keep this one very simple. please clean up your garbage at the beach. i can't understand how people will leave cans, GLASS bottles, diapers,and whatever crap they had, in the sand. especially when there is a garbage can nearby. don't throw your cigarettes into the sand or the water. filters have become a problem. if you bring a dog to the beach, clean up after it, DON'T cover the poop with sand. i'm sure many of you know about marine life that has been hurt or killed by plastics in the water as well. i can't go for a simple walk on the beach because it basically becomes a garbage can to garbage can haul of junk i pick up. at least it makes me feel better when someone notices and helps out.
so, if anyone is interested, here's another link:
