It is amazing what people leave behind at the beach. From old towels to cigarette butts, the amount of trash left behind is unbelievable. This weekend we did a beach cleanup with Surfrider. My husband and I have been Surfrider members for a years now and we just signed our 4 year old son up as a member as well. When we moved to San Diego 12 years ago we were so grateful to live near the ocean. The more we learn about the precious ecosystem, the more we try to protect it. Teaching our son about living green and protecting mother earth at an early age is something that we strive to do every day.
And we have found that doing good things is contagious. My dear friend Aaryn recently joined Surfrider and is already very active in the organization. I am hoping that more of my friends here in San Diego will join us!
