How to log your cleanup
Go! Remember, a clean shore starts at your door. Make it count–pick up and tally every trash item you find. Pay special attention to storm drains near your home. Trash that goes down the storm drain ends up in the ocean.
Make sure to pick up only as much trash as will fit in your garbage can at home.
