San Diego Beaches’ Fourth of July Hangover

From our friend Ken over at Surfrider.


Pacific Beach – 6:30 a.m., July 5, 2006

Left behind at 7 SD County Beaches on July 4, 2006: 8,000 pounds of trash 45,000 cigarette butts


This Fourth of July…and every day…“Respect The Beach”

• Consume less and buy products that do not have a lot of packaging.

• Take less to the beach and use trash cans or bags during your celebration.

• Bring home any trash or recyclables that you cannot dispose of properly.

• When you leave the beach, take at least one additional piece of trash with you.

• Help clean your community after ANY celebration—not just the 4th of July.

• Spread the word to “Respect the Beach!”
