Cleaning Up

Spent the morning at Del Mar volunteering for Surfrider’s Beach Clean Up Day. Eight pounds of garbage, including a broken surf fin, lots of empty beverage cans and some clothing. Despite the recent hype over cigarette butts being a garbage nuisance (here and here) that needs to be banned, I found a total of about eight during an hour round-trip walk south from 15th Street. Pound for pound, banning clothing would have put much less refuse in my bag.
