87 pounds of trash were picked up by<br \/>\nvolunteers that combed the beaches, alleys, and streets nearby in Mission Beach.\u00a0<!--more--> As the rainy season approaches, we become more concerned with trash and litter that washes into our bay and<br \/>\nocean and try to do all that we can\u00a0to prevent pollutants from entering our water playground.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of trash that accumulates on the beaches can seem minimal, so we\u2019ve compiled a list of all of the trash collected by 90 volunteers in 2 hours to give you perspective on how much trash can potentially end up in our ocean and bay:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1048 cigarette butts<\/li>\n<li>304 pieces of cardboard, napkins and other paper items<\/li>\n<li>144 individual bottle caps<\/li>\n<li>112 food wrappers<\/li>\n<li>81 plastic bottles and utensils<\/li>\n<li>56 plastic bags<\/li>\n<li>47 glass bottles, and pieces<\/li>\n<li>42 pieces of<br \/>\nStyrofoam<\/li>\n<li>22straws<\/li>\n<li>2 tires<\/li>\n<li>2 beach<br \/>\nchairs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of the more interesting items picked up include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A wet couch cushion<\/li>\n<li>A car starter<\/li>\n<li>A shopping cart (yes they are recyclable!)<\/li>\n<li>Keys that had been lost for a week that were returned to a very excited owner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thank you to everyone that came out and helped us tidy up our San Diego backyard.\u00a0\u00a0 We will continue to host beach cleanups, with a goal is to complete 3 cleanups every calendar<br \/>\nyear.\u00a0 Make sure that you are signed up to receive our Newsletter
