Drains to the Ocean

We are finding everything from furniture and luggage to tennis balls and backpacks in our harbor, not to mention logs, branches and tires that float just below the surface and become navigational hazards. These items bend propellers, break shafts and for jet engine vessels, items get sucked into the engine itself. Every rainy season we are inundated with objects (anything that floats) will travel and make its way down through waterways, canals, rivers and eventually end up into the ocean. Most city's have maintenance and work crews dedicated to this task. There are also local beach clean up events in your area where you can join in and participate and maybe even make some new friends. We'd like to shout and thank People of the Earth Krew for their monthly beach cleanup (every 3rd Saturday). They are a non-profit "Advocating for Mental Health and Environmental Stewardship".

From Simplicity to Trash Reduction

After working in the harbor over the last 3 years, we have seen everything from plastic cups and various brands of athletic shoes to ice chests and furniture.  Changing our consumption habits and lifestyle, we become empowered to bypass irresponsible consumption.  Studies have found families saving almost 40% on annual home saving costs and have noticed life improvements such as health benefits and savings in time and finances.
