A good deed

I have been planning to do this after the back to back typhoon that hit our country just weeks ago but then I have to closely watch two (2) kids from playing. But today, Sunday, I asked my sister if she could watch over my baby because I have something to do. When she said yes, I immediately grabbed two trash bags and head on to the beach. There are a lot of waste around like plastic bottles, spoon, fork, cans, etc that are not biodegradable. It's really a big eye sore if you look around. I felt sad because the two trash bags were not enough and I was not able to go back and continue because it's getting dark already. When I got home, my elder sister asked what am I holding and I said plastics I collected from the beach; I had own coastal cleanup drive. Minutes later, I heard her talking to her friends online and she invited them to have a part two of the clean-up drive by Friday. This made me even happier because more people will participate and I hope that this drive will continue and influence more people to be more caring and protective of our nature not just for a day.

@bbghitte I hope you could positively influence a lot of people. It could also do a lot not just for human lives but also for the sea animals.

How wonderful that your sister and her friends are going to help finish picking up the rubbish. And well done you for doing this off your own initiative. It's not a very pleasant job I'm sure.

It's not actually but the kids love to be at the beach everyday and I don't want them to feel that it's okay to throw rubbish everywhere

That's really cool what you did. May the others be inspired by your action as well. Soon there'll be doing the same thing.
