You Can Help!

So... you've taken the time to plan a trip to the beach. Packed the kites, beach umbrella, towels, snacks, and drinks... but when you get there, the sand is covered with garbage! How disappointing is that? Yuck!!! What can you do!

The good news is that there are a lot of dedicated people working to correct this dilemma, but you need to do your part as well. One simple solution - bring a bucket and "grabber" and collect some trash while you are there. You can even make it a fun "game" with your kids. Who can fill up their bucket the fastest?

Don't get me wrong... I'm not suggesting that you need to be the "garbage collector" of the beach, but every little bit helps. Wouldn't you agree? The problem actually starts way before the trash even gets to the ocean/beach. Take a look at the links and videos I've posted. If we all start working together, we have a chance to have beautiful, clean, and safe places for us to take our children, and have a ton of fun playing in the sand and surf!

2-Pack Grabber Reacher

I keep one in the house, and one in the car. Very useful for getting socks that got dropped behind the washing machine. I like to bring a bucket and my grabber to pick up trash around my neighborhood when I go for a walk with the dog. And... of course they are very handy at the beach. Nobody likes to touch other peoples garbage, so the long-handled grabber is useful when you need to clean up your little patch of sand.

From the Amazon description:
The shaft is made from rust-proof lightweight aluminum and the internal wire is made from steel cable for durability and easy of use.

Canvas Bucket

This bucket is the bomb! Useful for everything! I keep mine in the car, it collapses down flat and stores in with my spare tire. Take it to the beach to collect trash, or shells, or fill it with sand to keep your beach blanket/towel from blowing away. When I'm camping I can fill it with dirt or water as a way to put out the campfire when I leave. Also makes a useful laundry basket or toy bin when I'm traveling.

Heavyweight canvas. Collapsible. Carries water, tools, etc. 13"Deep X 11"Diameter

13 Gallon Trash Bags

These trash bags work reasonably well for most light-weight trash. They work great for my smaller bathroom trash can, or a 5-gal. bucket. While they say they are 13 gallons, I've found they don't fit my kitchen trash bin. Not recommended for anything sharp or wet.

From the Amazon description:
Premium Value: Sized (24"x32") with eco friendly toughness (10 mic). Degradable by moisture, oxygen, soil - ASTM D6954 U.S. Standard certified

40 Gallon Trash Bags

I use these in my large trash bin for leaves and sawdust, but branches and other sharp objects will poke holes in the bag. They work well for party cleanup, which is usually just paper plates, cups, etc.

152oz. Glass Jars

These are really large! A little over one gallon, they really hold a lot of... "stuff". And they look great, with an "old-time" pioneer feel. They use the old-school lever-latch system, and have a glass top with a silicon gasket to seal them. Jars and lids can go in the dishwasher for easy cleaning! Great for storing dry pasta, cereal, or making pickles. A tried and true method that's been around since the covered wagon era.

From the Amazon description:
Storage jar is made of food-graded glass which is non-toxic, odorless and 100% BPA free. Each glass container is well sealed, equipped with a silicone gasket and a stainless steel locking clamp to make sure your food stays clean, fresh and safe while in storage.
