1000 Flowers for the Planet - #38 Participate in Beach Clean-Ups
If you enjoy the beach and spend time there
on a regular basis, then help keep the beach clean for your own sake, and for
everyone else’s. It makes sense. You use it, you help maintain it. Whatever you
take there for your pleasure, take all of it home with you. Rubbish should not
be left at the beach.
I’ve seen some fantastic artwork made using
small pieces of plastic rubbish found on one beach. The plastic waste keeps
this artist in materials. Whilst I think the art is terrific, I’d rather the
artist didn’t have to make such a statement.
Rubbish finds its way to the beach as it is
blown by the wind, transported through waterways, washed up from the ocean
(sadly) or left there by beach users. Search the internet for the dates when
your local beach has scheduled a clean-up day and spare some time to attend and
keep this planet beautiful.

Beach clean-ups is a good idea. For those who don't live near the beach it could be another local area. When our son was involved in the Scouts we all actively participated in Clean Up Australia Day, collecting rubbish from local wetlands, parks and roadsides. And it can be FUN if you have a number of friends and organise a BBQ afterwards. A sense of a job well done is such a reward!
