Aloha Everyone!
Saturday, Ron and I spent the day doing something GOOD!! Along with 200 volunteers, we participated in the 2nd annual Coastline Cleanup Day at Anahola Beach Park. The event sponsors were: Sustainable Coastlines, Kauai Surfrider and B-Rad Foundation. The cleanup was from Donkey Beach to Papa`a Bay (which is roughly 5 miles). There was 14,200 lbs of rubbish, marine debris, ropes and nets removed from our shores. It was a fun experience working along side men, women and kids who are passionate about keeping our island trash free.

| Another one of the seals Sunday, I went back to the beach hoping to find the seals, unfortunately I found our pristine beach of yesterday littered with a new wave of plastic. Stupid me didn't take a bag to collect rubbish. The following is 138 plastic tubes known as oyster spacers that I gathered, it was all that I could carry back to the car.  Go Do Something GOOD!!

Way to go Val and the entire crew. I think it would be so much easier and more fun cleaning it up with others. Amazing; that bear is pretty cute.

Can't believe all the trash, so sad, but great that you all clean it up!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like something really good to do. I plan on joining in on some local things like that when I get to the islands. It's always good to do good!
