Operation Fishy

Day 1 of Operation Fishy

I love that saying from Disney to Make A Wave. Meaning do your part and help us create a better world to live in. We've been walking on the beach quite a bit since the move to our new home. I wasn't surprised to see all the garbage that had been washed up there. Our chunk of beach isn't frequented too often so along with the really cool treasures there is also a lot of crud. I got to thinking, you know, I could help make this beach cleaner.

You see, there is a little park area at the beach access point. Two benches, a fire pit, trash can and some signage. There is also a sign that has doggy doo-doo bags and a board with holes drilled into it. In the holes someone (plastic bag gods?) fill all the little holes with one plastic bag each. Like the kind you get from the grocery store. There's a small sign that says something about helping keep our beach clean. I can do that. Why can't I do that? So I did that. Did you get that? Lol, I'm rambling tonight and you needed to hear THAT one more time ...that.

This is only the beginning. How much trash do you think I'll pick up by the end of the year?

Washed up garbage:
Lots and lots of rope in many different colors.
Round plastic tubes cut up in half inch pieces. Anyone know what those are? I'll take a pic next time.
A bouquet of dead balloons.
Batting - like the kind inside of a teddy bear.
Hard plastic pieces all broken into palm sized chunks or smaller in different colors.
Toothbrushes - more than one. Eeew.
Plastic lids to containers of all different sizes.
Parts of a laundry basket.
Water bottle
A few other unidentifiables.

Be a part of Operation Fishy and remember: Anemones aren't enemies!
