Plastic, Hmmm. Seemed Like a Good Idea At The Time

KEEPING BREVARD BEACHES CLEAN FOR 

LOVE OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS

Christmas is coming!  Shopping, sewing, baking etc. has not allowed me as much time at the beach as I would like.


I did, however, do a beach cleanup yesterday with my son; today I flew solo.

Scotty, on the trail of trash.

Monday's cleanup was in Paradise,  Paradise Beach, Indialantic. Awww that sounds so nice and it is but of course all the usual yuck was there. It was  mild around 72 F, 21C. (I still wore a jacket) We made it to the beach as the sun was dimming.

always lovely to find one of these

We collected two tote bags full of all kinds of debris; lots of big plastic chunks.
 I'm sure between us we collected over 10lbs.  The rope count for the day was 37 ft. , elevating the rope total to 949 ft. or 316.33 yds.

Un-natural at the beach

Today I hit Ocean Ave. in Melbourne Beach.  Another sunset session and another day of big chunks of plastic.  It didn't take long to fill my tote. I dumped it and went back for seconds.  Leaving was difficult.  One more thing I have to get, one more thing I have to get. Finally my bag was becoming difficult to carry so I had to pack it in.  Walking past debris on the way to the boardwalk, I tried not to think of the harm it may bring.  I can't get it all.  I did collect 38 ft. of rope moving my total up to 987 ft. or 329 yds.  Moving in on another football field.


Thanks for checking in.


Jingle bells
Beach litter smells
Balloons have gone astray


Pick up your stash
of all your trash
and throw it all away
Hey!

Looking For a Few Good Beach Huggers

KEEPING BREVARD BEACHES CLEAN

FOR LOVE OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS  

We chose a little beach access in South Indialantic this morning.

Lost sole

The ocean was more churned up than it had been during our last cleanup, which means more trash has been stirred up and brought in.  There was junk everywhere.

More malice from Haiti
I'm sure they get our
junk as well

In a rush?
Forget to brush?

The warm air was long gone, we braced ourselves against a chilly mid 60s breeze. (15-18C)
Yes, we are spoiled.

We were here for about an hour and we collected two tote bags full of debris.  We also had a record breaking rope collection.

Have no fear
 what you need
is here

We found 80 feet today! I couldn't believe it.  The stuff was all over the place.  The new total for rope is....812 ft. or 270.66 yds.  Sorry, that I don't know how to convert to metric.  However, I can tell you it is almost three American football fields.

Anyone interested in taking part in a county wide Beach Hug? I am beginning plans for such an event to take place over my son's school break.  March 24 - April 1 2012.  It is to be a relay cleanup that would cover all of Brevard Coutny Florida's beaches, from Sebastian Inlet going north.   Volunteers will choose a section and pass the torch, so to speak, (thank you for that Jay).  Please email me if you are interested in participating or sponsoring. brevardcountybeachhug12@gmail.com

Bracing against the cold
I don't know how we do it
LOL

Thanks for visiting.

Get out of bed,

Shake off the bugs.

Get to the beach

And give it some hugs.
