Litter Donations -- June 7, 2009 -- Lauderdale by the Sea, FL

The beach was pretty clean this morning. The beach raker had already been there so I don't know how much litter it had already picked up. Anyway, I concentrate near the shore so that litter doesn't go out to sea.

 

I picked up one small plastic bag worth of litter between 8 and 9am between Anglin's Fishing Pier and  Palm Portal. Was glad to have picked up a couple of deflated balloons with ribbon attached. Hopefully saved a turtle, fish or bird. Also removed several pieces of broken glass.

I came upon a strangely captivating site: an unattended balloon, weighted slightly by a green plastic beach shovel. It seemed to have a life of its own as it bobbled in the wind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs9hNsRdHkI  Aware this was potential litter-in-the-making, I couldn't help but cheer the balloon on in its attempt for freedom,  even as I wondered where it would come to rest.  Fascinated, I watched its progress until a young mother came to reclaim it.

The FBI's crime reporting plan, which captures crimes that are claimed to police, is among two statistical steps of crime levels issued because of the Justice Section. Historically, less than half of all crimes, together with violent crimes, are claimed to police. Another measure, the national crime victimization survey, is designed to seize crime facts irrespective of whether it really is claimed to police or not.

Anyway, congrats to the happy couple. Now can we start speculating on which designer will do her wedding gown?

awww Hope he's planning on reynilccg that!It really is frustrating when people don't pick up. my favourite (least favourite) is when people leave a full poop baggie on the path or in the woods near the path. They already did the worst part the picking up and then they left a bag of poop.
