Barbara from Wilmington writes a great reminder.  Beach time is here again, so People clean up after your self.  Make it a point to bring a garbage bag to the beach and drop it in the main garbage can as you leave the beach.  That simple.


I will see you at the Beach.

Well the season has started and with it comes the trash....So once again I will repeat myself....Here is reminder - Let's take care of our environment!

Your litter Box - As I was walking the beach a few days ago with a friend and fellow colleague, and her 2 beautiful Golden Retrievers, we stepped into a large mound of Doggy poo covered in sand.... I said to her, It is no wonder they don't allow dogs on the beach 6 months out of the year -

Your Trash Can - On a side note, My husband has recently taken up metal detecting....  I know, I know - But he loves it....  The interesting thing is as he walks the beach looking for long lost treasures and change, he mostly finds pull tabs, cans, and other trash, buried sometimes 1 foot below the surface!  Why would you bury your can a foot down in sand rather than walking it to the many trash cans placed on our local beaches....  ?

Your Ash Tray - and as he diggs so diligently for those cans he usually comes up with the most precious of treasures of all - an average of 10 or so ciggarettes...

What is interesting is that at first look, our beaches are the most beautiful on the East Coast...  They appear to never have litter of any kind on them....Gorgeous!   Yet what is buried below the surface is a different story....Sound familiar!!!  It so typical and lazy and is a metaphor for everything that is wrong in our world today....

It is really simple people!  Take responibility for your own garbage and empty the trash can before the entire world starts to stink!

Carry in, carry out is the term in Maine. Leave it in as good or better shape, condition than you found it.

With our massive budget cuts, litter and trash pick up was cut from the budget months ago.  I'm assuming people will get tired of living in their own filth, and start picking up after themselves
