World Ocean Day Beach Cleanup
Last Saturday, we went to Crissy Field for a beach clean-up event organized by Sea Stewards. Lots of plastics pieces were found on the beach. Unfortunately, much of the plastic has been broken down into tiny pieces that are too small to be picked up. It has become part of the sand, which is bad. =(
We still managed to pick up some cigarette buds, metallic key chains, ice cream wrappers, bottle caps, eye drops, pens, a light bulb and plastic objects that we could not figure out what they were.
Sea Steward had an event after the cleanup to share with us conservation of sharks. They showed a very creative short film about plastic pollutions. The film, Plastric Bag by Raman Bahranii, narrates the serious life of a plastic bag with a first-person voice, expressing the loneliness of the plastic bag away from his master, drifting with the wind and water, unwanted and abandoned, longing for death to free himself from this world. It was very impactful and you all should watch you if you have a chance!
This is me cleaning up at Crissy Field:
