One Man Beach Clean Up in Maine
Thanks to Harold in Maine for sharing his project with Protect the Ocean. Make sure to visit his blog!
Once a week I troll two sections of my local beach, picking up any and all man-made bits of flotsam & trash that I find. One section is busier in-season; the other section is farther away from the crowds. I clean, catalog, and report on what’s there in my blog. Along the way, if something pops out, I learn about it, and share what I’ve discovered.
And what I’ve discovered is that even in quiet, serene southern Maine there is a ghastly marine plastic pollution problem.
It’s such a beautiful world. It should stay that way. Hopefully I’m doing my small part to bring awareness & help out.

Thank you, Harold, for the tireless dedication. People think it happens in a big huge global scale. The fact is that we ALL have a part in making or breaking the planet. Each of us can be part of the problem or part of the solution. I salute you, sir, for choosing to help.
