[CINC] Santa Clause Ln Beach Cleanup

[Larry Harris]

I put some time in at Emma Wood Beach where Drew Pichard was doing a fine
job as Captain.

Didn't find any dog bags but I agree that Dog owners, as I am with a Aussie,
should be more responsible! I carry extra bags with me and do not hesitate
to hand them out to those who ignorant.

Most of my collection was cigarette filters, plastic bags, and plastic
debris at the high tide line of the river area.

I don’t think I have been involved in any activity that invokes such a wide
range of emotions; from mad as hell, to disgust, to gratitude, and in
between.



Mad as hell that so many people throw trash in locations where it eventually
ends up in waterways and eventually on the beach, disgusted with them for
doing so and not caring about the environment , and gratitude for those who
do care enough to help clean it up like many did today.


Thanks to all those who did today, but especially to those who make it a
daily practice to care!
