Trashy Americans

Amazing that people live by the assumption that Garbage will just vanish. If you go to the beach treat it with respect and throw you trash into a waste recepticle. There's one nearly every 50 to 100 yards on the beach.
If that's too much to ask then please vacation in Atlantic City, Virginia beach or better yet California. Abundant trash is common there and you might prefer it better since no one cares what you leave behind. But here we do so pack it in... pack it out. Sincerly Mother Earth

I echo your comments, though I'm not sure I want them littering beaches elsewhere either. If these people can't help preserve the beauty of the awesome beaches we've been blessed with, they should just stay home and litter their own backyards. We made a quick trip to Seagrove last weekend and were able to spend one wonderful day (Friday) enjoying the beach. The weather was absolutely perfect! Unfortunately, there was a group of young males near us partying under a tent and throwing their beer cans out on the sand. My daughter-in-law said she and my son had picked up a bunch of trash the day before left behind by this same group.

Better yet, they need to litter the inside of their homes so that it doesn't blow around the neighborhood.;-)

I have no patience for this crap. I would have walked over there and given them a piece of my mind. I am usually a very calm person and keep my emotions in check, but this just makes me so mad. They might have beat the crap out of me, but I wouldn't have cared!!!!

I agree with you Kd...I would have gone over there asap and told them to stop it!!!!!!! what a bunch of dumb a-holes..... :roll:

It is completely beyond me why people litter on beautifil beaches..anywhere.
In Oregon (where I lived for 20 years) we had /have SOLV (stop oregon litter and vandalism) and the organization works really well. Several times each year students and volunteers go down to the beach and clean up. As a result the beaches are much cleaner than neighboring California and peoples awarness of beach cleanliness is raised. Funded by donations and led by a dedicated man, it is a model for clean beaches.

We do that as well here, but not every day. So clean up behind yourselves!!

I only pick up 3 dog poop bags of litter on the beach today! As well as someones large beach shade which was destroyed by last nights storm. Don't know what happen to its top but guess it floating in the Gulf. Also numerous beach balls,floats,sand molds,watercolor cups,balloons and at least a dozen water bottle tops.Hopefully some day people will wake up! I know that the water will wash stuff onto the beach but it would wash up if people were more caring.
