woman in Santa Monica who spends 20 minutes
a day cleaning up a stretch of the beach.
Apparently she has spurred others to act,
and the amount of trash collected is...
A LOT!
You can see this woman's blog The Daily Ocean here.

While what I think is being done is great,
what would be even greater is if somehow
the cause was able to be addressed in a
way that would impact others to be more
careful about what they leave behind -
if anything, at all.
Interaction with symptoms are reactions.
Not to say we shouldn't react, but what
can we do to prevent the need for reaction
in the first place? This (obviously?) goes
for more than just a beach cleanup.
When we stop reacting we have more time
to enjoy what we want to do. Perhaps
this woman's passion for a clean beach
will spur on something that will
interact with the cause, in which case
she'll have to find something else to do
those 20 minutes a day.
I don't imagine
she would mind.
How much of life do we spend being at the
effect of something we don't want rather than
being at the cause of something we do want?
I hope your week is off to a great start!
