Ocean trash
During the summer whenever I went to the beach I would pick up trash. Here are some photos and descriptions.
Day 1, I found a ballon, 2 water bottles, a jug of milk, a frisbee, a plastic coffee cup and just some small pieces of trash. 
Day 2, I did not find a lot but some are still better then nothing! I found a wipe, rope, food wrapper, hoop earrings and a small piece of styrofoam.
My sister went for a walk on the beach one morning and found this! A scrub, water bottle, and a piece of plastic. Later we went back and still found more! 
Found more trash while walking on the beach.
We found as you can see in the picture ballons, lots of ropes, bottle caps, random pieces of plastic, ribbons, straws, styrofoam, water jugs, food wrappers, and even a shoe! 
On this particular day, we found so much trash. It was because the previous day there had been a storm and the current was so strong. Half of the trash we found on the beach and the other half we spotted floating in the water near the shore!
Trash that washed up on the shore. 
More trash !!
You might be asking how trash ends up on beaches. Well, it is like a cycle. First trash ends up on the beach either by wind or people just not clean up after themselves. The tides will pull the trash into the ocean and there it will harm animals and pollute there home. The trash will be in the ocean until someone picks it up or it is swept back onto the beach by waves. Now hopefully people will do their part and pick up the trash from beaches so it does not go back into the ocean and repeat the cycle. Clean up any trash you find! 🌎💙
