“My head was almost bursting when I bent down to pick up litter, but there appeared to be so many micropieces of hard plastics on every square meter, that I figured it would be best to sit down and pick al the tiny little pieces around me as I went.”
“In a way, I felt defeated, as there were so many tiny pieces of plastic it was impossible to pick them all up, but doing a cleanup can help decrease the debris on the beach and the danger to marine life from ocean plastics. This was my very first beach cleanup, but I can tell you the formula for the day felt perfect.”
