Each time Santa Monica, California high-school teacher Benjamin Kay goes surfing he picks up all the trash he finds brings it back to throw away, according to a story in the Santa Monica Mirror. The photo above is just one Sunday’s catch. Now he’s trying to get more people involved with a Paddle Clean-up.
“I’d like to engage the surfing, boogie board, paddle board, kayak, and diving communities in an aquatic cleanup to help us all get on the same page about the reasons for and sources of plastic pollution and build a greater activist coalition,” he said. “I heard a guy in the water yesterday blame beach-going litter bugs for the problem, but the reasons for plastics into our oceans is much more complex than that.”
If everyone does a little. . .
