This year the most beautiful beach in the US is voted as Kailua Beach in Hawaii. In the Spring last year there were huge “icebergs” of trash, mostly plastics that washed ashore making the lovely Kailua beach look like a garbage dump. Killing the Honu sea turtles, the endangered Nene ducks that thought the plastic was food. Some of the debris was from the tsunami that effected Japan a while back. Many volunteers worked on the beach. Even children could be seen digging for cigarette butts, collecting them by the bagful, to clean the beach.
A little bit of forward thinking can make such an impact when we do it collectively.
