The Surfrider foundation, Sun Diego Boardshop and Billabong put a beach clean up together for July 5th. Again this year the kids and I (As well as 50 or so others) went down to our local beach "Ponto" and spent a couple of hours cleaning up trash leftover from the 4th of July. We actually topped last years number (77lbs) with over 100lbs of junk between the 4 of us! The good news is there were far less Cigarette butts to clean up this year but I am still curious as to when the Carlsbad City Council is going to step up and join the rest of the Coastal Communities in SD county and outlaw Smoking at the beach. Hello Mayor Lewis and council are you listening...!?!
By the way, cigarette butts are the number one item found in urban runoff pollution. For those of you that smoke do us all a favor and hold on to your butts!
