SLASH THE TRASH We’ve all seen the seagull with the six-pack rings wrapped around its neck. Beach pollution is on the rise, and it impacts life both above and beneath the water’s surface. Just one day of collecting trash can make a huge difference for our local environment. For a beach day with a mission, check out Half Moon Bay’s beach clean-up schedule at half-moon-bay. ca.us or organize your own! Bring gloves, buckets, appropriate clothing and plenty of trash bags to clean up litter. If you’re the one in charge, use social media, flyers or any other type of local promotion to rally a group of hard-working ocean enthusiasts to your cause. The work is extremely rewarding, especially when you get to admire the fruits of your labor in front of the glittering sea. PUNCHMAGAZINE.COM 109 2.
