As we prepare for "Clean Beach" day, the world had it's clean volunteer action this past weekend. It's estimated 35 million volunteers went to their local forests, beaches, and parks to clean up what others have left behind. It's sad that one of the major factors contributing to the decline in our ecosystem is trash, junk, anything left behind by us.
The simplest thing to do is to clean up after ourselves. You would think with the national attention giving to losing: losing weight, de-hoarding, losing your self-respect on tv, that America would be foremost in losing the trashy lifestyle. Just cleaning up the cigarette butts, the empty fast food bags, candy wrappers, even tires would stop the killing of many species unseen in our soil and water.
I get pissed every time I see someone throw out a cigarette butt, gum, or any unwanted trash from their car as they're driving. I wonder what their home looks like? Cuz, they are dumping on the the big one--the one that means human survival.
