I am…volunteering.
One way is by volunteering to participate in California Coastal Cleanup Day. Yesterday I volunteered with other members of my church to help clean the shoreline in Burlingame. (That’s me on the far right in picture.) We we’re provided with gloves and bags for garbage and recyclable items. The item I saw the most was cigarette butts. Weather was pleasant with just a light breeze. Plus it was fun to work alongside friends. Oh, and the beach looked beautiful when everyone finished.
