Mary and I bravedPresumere che il online casino online gratis usa un generatore di numero casuale appropriatamente programmato, i giochi di tavola come il manganello hanno un margine di casa stabilito. the weather to head over to the coast this weekend and do some clean up as part of SOLV clean up program. While it was a little cold and rainy, it was overall a good experience.
Being reasonably hard workers, we decided to head down the beach a mile or so from the parking in area, thinking that the areas closer in would be debris-free from the many people already in the parking lot. As we wandered down the beach we came across plenty of stuff — plastic bottles, broken bits of plastic, rope, some underwear, Starbucks cups. The most interesting was a big plastic crate.
When our two bags were completely full we dragged them back to the main area thinking we would find big mounds of trash. Instead we found a pile of mostly empty trash bags. One heavily pierced young women set down a bag with maybe 2-3 items in it at most. Needless to say, there was still plenty of stuff to picked up further down the way. In all fairness, some people had drug up a couple of tires and a broken crab cage, but overall it was really lame. We had the only full bags there.
If this was any indication, I’m not sure how 55 tons of stuff got picked up. I can say that the Oceanside beach at least is NOT clean. SOLV needs to go the other way with its PR and talk about the problem of people volunteering and then basically not doing squat. Hey people, if you’re going to do beach clean up then you need to actually do some beach clean up. Oregon deserves better.
