The International Coastal Cleanup is next Saturday 9/16. Lakes, rivers and beaches get slammed with debris and deserve a little help. You will meet amazing people and have great time. :)

Join me in posting pictures of your local event!

I do my own little beach cleanups spontaneously at the beach I surf when the mood hits me.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Looks like Linda Mar's got one this Saturday. Guess I'd better help. Theirs are monthly, actually, and I can't believe I've just discovered this now. Thanks for this, BoMan.

True to form, forgot about Clean-Up Day until I was in the water. Wondering what all the people on the beach picking up trash were doing. I will do this! I know I will do this eventually!!
