SUMMER SEA SHORE FUN? CLEAN UP THE BEACHES!

If you're lucky enough to go to the beach this summer, maybe on a vacation if you don't live nearby, you'll probably enjoy going into the water to swim, splash in the waves, or ride the surf and on the beach you may be creating sand sculptures, laying around to rest or get a tan (though wearing sun screen in more popular), or looking for shells that have come in with the tide.

You may have also brought a lot of stuff along with you to the beach.  Bottled water.  Soda.  Possibly food, even food to be barbecued at the beaches that allow it.  Towels, flip flops and sandals, plastic bottles with lotions and oils, swim suits and extra clothes.  Books, sunglasses, and more.

If you're like me, when you get to the beach you often find things other people left behind, either because they were ignorant, lazy, or lost stuff.  Then there is the garbage, a lot of plastic, that has been dumped at sea or scattered from garbage cans.

This stuff really needs to be trashed in the right cans and dumpsters!

So do your part to KEEP THE BEACH CLEAN.
When you keep the BEACH clean you also help with the effort to keep THE LAKE or OCEAN CLEAN!  And that means that the sea creatures that live there have a better chance of survival!

One of the activities that can be fun is collecting the recycled cans and bottles that others leave behind, taking them to a recycling center and earning a little money from your effort.

But whatever you find, get it off the beach and into the trash where it belongs!
