Heal the Bay
Join more than 10,000 volunteers in clearing trash and ocean-bound debris at 70 inland and beach locations throughout Los Angeles County. Organized by regional environmental group Heal the Bay, the event teaches participants how to prevent ocean pollution year-round while beautifying their immediate neighborhoods. More than 70,000 pounds of trash and recyclables were collected last year, 85% of which came from inland sites. All ages and physical abilities welcome. No special equipment or experience necessary. Site captains will organize a diverse mix of individuals, families, neighborhoods, community groups, schools, faith-based groups, sports teams and businesses.
To register and see a list of locations, including this year’s new “Code Red” sites, please visit HealTheBay

During the 4 month yearly season in Thailand, (I was a tree planter in Canada the rest of the time) I’d lie in my hammock and stare at the blue sky. Every morning, the tide brought in a shore full of garbage. Some places picked it up, but many didn’t. I couldn’t take walking along a beach with a tide line of garbage so I picked it up. Every morning I’d wake at sunrise and collect the garbage. Sure, not the nicest thing to do every morning but the entire day, I looked at a clean beach. After a while, the Thais started to help me. They’d pile all the garbage up in a pile and set it on fire. Burning plastic… The problem is that ferries, fishing boats and just about everybody simply throw the garbage into the ocean rather than in the dump. (Too much trouble I guess) Or in Africa where burning tires is nothing but a way to attract attention. I asked them not to burn it anymore because burning plastic stinks and it was right beside my bungalow. Picking up garbage isn’t a once a year thing. It’s an every day thing. There are floating garbage islands in the Pacific and the Atlantic. Who is picking up that? I vote that the navy does. Anybody else agree?
