In the latest sign that California is returning to its traditions from before the COVID-19 pandemic, on Saturday morning, thousands of people are expected to turn out at beaches across the state to pick up litter as part of the 37th annual California Coastal Cleanup Day.
Last year the cleanup — which is the state’s largest volunteer event — was largely cancelled due to the pandemic, with no group events. About 17,500 people reported picking up 170,000 pounds of trash on their own last year, a drop of about 80% from normal years, when as many as 80,000 people have participated in the 3-hour event, and picked up roughly 1 million pounds of litter.

Totally neglected to insert masks into story.
I have been to beaches up and down the coast and the effin masks are everywhere...

A tsunami would clean it up pretty good...

In my other life while driving and working around the LA area, I’d watch these illegals on bus benches throw big gulp cups or whatever into the streets and gutters. Broad day light with all the traffic watching while stopped at the lights. Most had this stupid smiles on their faces while sitting ankle deep in trash, pampers etc.
The metered on ramp which force vehicle to stop before entering the freeways became trash dumps. I recall one time looking at all the trash while waiting to be metered onto the fwy and noted there was eyes looking at me from the bushes along side the fwy...The encampments are everywhere.
Our old neighborhood which was once a real nice area, started becoming a dumping ground, where people would throw their trash from their fast food slop right out the windows. Everything, cups, cup holders, bags etc. Totally disgusting stuff.
You saw masks everywhere for a time and I was a proud contributor.
Q.
You know why Texas doesn’t fall into the Gulf of Mexico?
A.
Oklahoma sucks...
I’m from Tahlequah and still love that joke...
wouldn’t it be more prudent to give a trash bag to all welfare and unemployment recipients and tell them to fill it if they want to be fed
No one sees the homeless encampments though
I’ve been hit twice by people throwing their garbage out the window while I was driving behind them. Once on the freeway doing about 70 the car in front of me threw a big gulp type cup full of whatever out the window and it hit the hood of my car and bounced up and over. Another time driving through town behind an old pickup truck the passenger threw a coke can out the window that hit the passenger side of the hood right before it turns to go down the side of the car. Both times when I caught up to see who was driving they were hispanic. Our roads and parking lots are dumping grounds here. And yeah, our demographic is a large number of hispanics and illegals.
