My name is Crystal Lee. I'm from Mrs. Hernandez's English 95 Section 49 class. This past Sunday we went to Dockweiler Beach for a beach clean-up. It was far for us to get to the beach. It took us about an hour to get there and when we got there, we got lost and didn't know where we should park and so we had to walk from the other side of the beach to the side where we're supposed to be at. We got there late and so we didn't have any more trash bags for us to use so we shared them with our friends. There were 6 of us in the group and they were all my friend during the summer and so it wasn't hard to communicate with them. When we started cleaning up, we saw a lot of cigarette buds on the beach, candy wrappers, and bottles. The coals inside the BBQ area were still hot. The 6 of us had 4 bags and we filled it up with trash that were being thrown at on the beach. People don't care what they throw at the beach because they think no one will care since it's public and everybody will go to it. But it's really not, it can hurt the environment. At the beach there were a lot of birds flying around the sky or on the surface of the ocean and we also saw birds on the sand near the shore. When they birds pick up the trash, it's not good for them because that can ruin their health. Trash can also ruin their home which is the beach. People should start to pick up their trash after themselves every time when they use the beach.
