This morning it was sunny and beautiful on the south Puget Sound. I walked from our cabin through the woods onto the north-eastern shore on Harstine Island to enjoy the warmth of the sun and the low tide. Just me, my dogs and a few ducks. I didn't have to walk far though, to be disturbed by an unusually large amount of thrash on the beach. I tried to ignore it at first as I did not have proper tools to collect it, but soon I realized I had to improvise and pick up all the trash into a doggie bag. In about twenty minutes my hands were too full to go on. All the trash was coffee cups and PVC pipe ends. No Starbucks, just "Eco-friendly" Greenware cups... Nice.
