Coastal clean up day in Ventura County, California was super successful. Almost 6 tons of waste was picked up.
The day was a huge success because 2,700 volunteers showed up to the event. I think it is amazing that so many people would take time out of their day to clean up the beaches. Most of the litter found were cigarette butts, which is a big problem because the animals and young kids eat them. They also do not completely decompose which causes the chemicals to leak into the water. The county, however, has taken some initiative to build a campaign to stop the litter of cigarettes.
