STEEMIT - Saving The Environment

My home is just a 100 meters away from the beach and the sound of the waves and breeze in the air is really soothing. It's not like the beaches that you see in the movies such as 'Baywatch' or 'The Beach', it's just a normal beach nothing fancy.

I do sometimes bring my daughter for a walk by the beach, where she loves to play the soft sands and collect sea shells. It's this kind of moment that you will cherish beyond anything else, the smile on your child's face with her hair being blown by the cooling sea breeze. Makes you forget all the troubles you have.

Teaching the #Steemit Way...lol

When it's low tide

This tree inspires me...

The sad part of the story is, the amount of rubbish that has been thrown into the sea and ended up washing ashore to this beautiful and relaxing beach. Within just a 100 meters of the beach, the amount of plastic bottles, used backpack, plastics is amazing. I could just fill up one garbage bag in just 10 sq/ft of the area, it's just mind boggling how some people just throw their rubbish to the sea and just thought it will fade away...yeah right! sorry...anger kicking in...lol!

Rubbish laying around

More rubbish

We've heard a lot of marine wildlife affected by such irresponsible act by mankind. The most recent story i've heard about is a whale that had more than 30 plastics inside its stomach.

Well, we don't have much whale over here but we do have Green Sea Turtles which are under the protected species due to caught by nets or rubbish, illegal poaching and stolen eggs. I believe @danieldoughty knows more on this, do share your thoughts.

Sea Turtle caught by rubbish

Me and my fellow #steemians @kulasago have agreed to organize a beach cleanup in this little area of ours before the end of the month. Depending on the weather as well. As we feel we have the obligation to do something right, to make right what was made wrong, to help the helpless, to go beyond where no one has gone before...oopppsss! sorry, star trek on my mind! Once we have the details, anyone who wants to join in...will be welcomed with open arms.

Anyway, we need to clean our own backyard first before organizing maybe a bigger event with STEEMIT written all over it. Imagine the publicity STEEMIT will have.

Together as Steemians...let's save the environment.

I found this whale stranded...with a message...lol!

STEEM On....
