Today as a class we took two hours from our daily routine to "Heal the Bay" by cleaning up Dockweiler beach. Living so close to the beach just 10 minutes away I constantly visit it during the summer but never quite noticed how truly polluted with filth the beach really is. You would think with so many trash cans around the beach people would have the decency to pick after themselves and throw away their trash and wood after their bonfires are done. Walking on the beach we found an abundant amount of cigarette butts, plastic bags, foam paper cups, chip bags, water bottles, missing socks, just scattered around. When we walked further we discovered a pile of washed up trash on the sand, picked up almost three bag fulls which we emptied in the trash cans not far from our location. There were quite a few odd item such as two huge costco bears torn apart in the trash and a bra laying around in the sand. People should be more considerate of the animals and the harm they may be causing to the environment and clean up after themselves, just like you don't leave trash laying around at your house why would people do it anywhere else. The world is our home that we have to help sustain.
