Good Beach Bad Trash

Good Beach Bad Trash Just one guy trying to spread awareness about our disposable lifestyle and its effects on oceans and rivers. And not shaving till 1ton has been picked up.

You use plastic. You recycle plastic. It gets "upcycled" or "recycled" into a product that can no longer be recycled. Or it just gets shipped to India or China. Or you don't recycle it. And it blows off the truck. Or off the top of the dump. It sits in the street and gets washed into a drain by a rain storm. It follows the water from the drain to a creek, to a stream, to a river, to the ocean. It

gets broken down by the pounding of tons of water and by constant UV degradation. It breaks into smaller and smaller pieces, leaching toxins that you never knew existed along the way. And gets eaten by what you in turn will eat. Or it washes back up on your beach. Or Maybe not YOUR beach. But somebody else's beach. "But I live in the middle of the country - my plastic bag from the grocery store could never make it to the ocean." Wanna bet?

Happy Earth Day. Anyone have any plans or ideas for how to get all these tiny styrofoam bits separated from the organic matter along rivers? Yeah... me neither. This is all up and down the banks of the Delaware River. Seems practically impossible to clean.

Its time. I'm starting on organizing group clean-ups. I'm looking for suggestions on locations for clean-ups in South Jersey. Trashed lakes and rivers. I'm looking for the worst of the worst so we can fix it together. It all leads to the sea. Please message me with any suggested locations.

I'd say I've been busy, but actually I've just been lazy. Finally getting around to sending out stickers. Kinda pumped on my trash-envelope I made to send out pins, too.

Want a sticker? Message me your address and I'll send it. Want a couple pins too? Paypal me .50c or $1 to cover the shipping.

Posted to my personal page with a link to a The Wilderness Society article about how we aren't going anywhere.
Because I'm here to fight for what I love and for the future of the people I love.

"Im having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that the new administration probably wont recognize climate change, and that the new head of the Environmental PROTECTION Agency is one of the biggest climate skeptics. At the very least, for the next 4 years, I'll most likely constantly share and annoy you with every article I come across about how our environment is being threatened and destroyed and our climate threat is being ignored.
Before I started cleaning beaches and riverfront areas of trash, I initially started the Good Beach Bad Trash page just so I wouldn't bother my friends with a bunch of posts that they didn't care about. In a way, that was wrong, but it started a good thing. But now I feel like I need to push from both sides. If you don't care about the environment, I want you to, because you might have kids, who might have their own kids, and what are we leaving for them?"

Paper cup? Theres plastic in there.
