Hello, my name is Damian Ruiz and currently enrolled in Winter
Quarter 2016 English 101. I am a
freshman at CSULA majoring in mechanical engineering. On January 24, 2016, the majority of my class
and I came together to participate in an event known as Heal the Bay at
Dockweiler Beach. As I joined a group to
clean up the beach, I met some pretty chill people. It was pretty cool picking up trash with
people who want to make an impact to the world.
As we picked up trash on the shore, I noticed the amount of cigarette
butts and straws that were found was insane.
I never seen that many cigarette butts and straws in a small portion of
the area. Meanwhile putting up the trash
on the shore, the water would come close to the shore and take trash back to
the ocean. After seeing this is a major
problem for the animals living in the ocean, I figure how people are lazy to
walk up to the trashcan and toss their trash.
As I passed by a trashcan, I notice a lot of trash near the trashcan on
the ground which showed me that some people are just lazy to pick it up and put
it where it belongs. Well it felt pretty
great to make a small impact to the environment even though it was on a Sunday morning
which was the worse part of the event.
This activity impact my life because I wanted to major in mechanical
engineering to go in the field of automotive or aerospace and I feel like I can
also make an impact to the environment not only by picking up trash, but going
in the field of conserving energy and building machines to help the environment.
This is me just chilling at the beach after picking up trash on the shore.(seagull squad photobombing me)
The beautiful ocean view.
Done for the day and just waiting to go home.
