[CINC] Coastal Cleanup Day

[maria ornelas]

Hi Naturalists,

I picked up trash by myself at Silver Strand Beach today, but felt in good company. High school and church kids everywhere. A man with two small children. A grandmother and two grandsons joined me in trying to rid the sand of Silly String, which is colorful liquid plastic in a can under pressure. Kids chase and spray the stuff on each other. It is not biodegradable, and worse yet, the product continues to be made with CFC's (destroy ozone layer) in countries which have not banned them. It took a good hour to clean it up.

The good news is that I collected lots of small trash overlooked by the 'less patient' participants, and I thoroughly enjoyed an absolutely lovely, balmy morning.
