I was walking along the coast in Carlsbad when I stumbled upon a large area covered with trash.  Someone must have had a party because there were bags of chips, drink bottles, candy and a package of cigarettes along with several cigarettes littering the sand.  It was practically piled there in that one location. There is no way this trash blew in. Some jerks actually took the time to trash up the beach. ARGH!!

It was one of those moments where I was just so disgusted with humans that I wished for a plague to wipe all of humanity out.  No other being on this planet is so wasteful, so quick to create crap that ends up poisoning our land.  It can be so embarrassing sometimes to be associated with a race that is so completely ignorant and uncaring about our planet.

There was a plastic bag hanging on a fence nearby( not a big surprise). I grabbed that and shoved most of the trash into the bag.   There usually is not much trash on the beach in Carlsbad. It’s one reason I love the beach there so much.  It’s usually quite clean.

**Don’t be an Ass,  Pick up your trash!**

I love birthdays. I love balloons and I love birthdays at the beach. What I don’t love is the amount of birthday balloons I see trashing up our beautiful coast.

I picked this up just North of Ponto beach.

If it won’t biodegrade soon, don’t take it to the beach. You know the wind is going to blow stuff like this away.  See that orange wrinkly thing? That is another balloon that is going to get stuck in the coral or in the stomach of a bird. Did you know that birds eat colorful plastic trash thinking it is food. It stays in their stomach and slowly kills them.

**PICK UP YOUR TRASH AND PICK UP TRASH YOU SEE ON THE BEACH**
