Usually I have pretty pictures on my blogs, but this is not a pretty subject, so this picture isn't either. A friend and I were talking about trash that has gathered in places near the beaches in our area. We decided to do some trash pick-ups and invite other friends to join in. We made a difference, but it wasn't enough of a difference. As a result, my friend made up a Facebook page and invited other people in the area to join us to help make San Carlos a cleaner place.
As a result, we have been having people join us in our effort to beautify an already beautiful place. A few people who live on their sailboats in the marina joined us, as well as some who live in RVs. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, we will have even more people join us and make more of a difference. As a bonus, we get to meet more people and have fun while doing something that isn't that much fun. The photo below shows the area in the first photo above after we got done with that section.
Below, you can see how much we picked up that day, in about 1 1/2 hours with everyone helping. It was satisfying to see clean areas where there had previously been trash piles.
I've picked up litter along a Calif. highway. It's a big job. Many hands make the job go faster. Good job.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for help with this. Apparently, there are no litter laws here in Mexico, as in the States.
DeleteThis is amazing! Look at all those garbage bags! It's incredible how much gargabage gets left behind in our beaches.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - and it's compounded by people who just don't care. Some countries are not policing litter like the U. S.
DeleteIt is incredibly sad to see the disregard so many have for our world! Great job cleaning up and making it more beautiful, clean and safe!
ReplyDeleteThanks - we're hoping they will take notice and quit littering!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to blog about!
