“Earth Day” is also “Save Our Beach Day”

Earth day is the day each year when beach residents are especially cognizant of  what they can do to help the beaches and wetlands of  our Southern California coast.  Seal Beach, Long Beach and Huntington Beach folks come out in droves to do their bit. 

Unfortunately our beach towns are the first stop for the trash that  floats across the Pacific as if on an oceanic highway from  China and Tokyo to the California coastline. Our beaches are also a dumping ground for everything that 8 million people in the L.A. basin toss  into the storm drains near the Sierra Madre mountains and all the towns in between.  That’s a lot of trash.

You’ll find that helping out even one day a year is therapy for the soul.  You‘ll feel so good and set such an example for your children that you’ll be talking about it for months.

Go to either http://www.saveourbeach.org/ or http://www.bolsachicalandtrust.org and find out where you can meet  this Saturday.  

And don’t forget to write back and send a photo, or better yet, have your children write  to us and tell us of their experience
