88 days to Earth Day

So, a local surf school company is sponsoring the 3rd annual "90 days to Earth Day".  This is a project in which school kids K-12 pick up trash for 90 days until Earth Day.

I decided to pick up trash on my street today.  I did not weigh the trash today, but it was a lot!  I only walked 5 houses up and back (both sides of the street) and I picked up 553 cigarette butts!!!  I could not believe it!!  I also gathered glass and plastic bottles, aluminum cans, lots of plastic particles, a mylar balloon, car washing sponge, 5 blue doggie poop bags filled with poop!!!!  I could not believe it!  Seriously, why go through the trouble of picking up the poop if you are just going to litter it anyway????   There was more, but I could not get it b/c it was across a water-filled ditch and amongst very large entangling vines.
