This past weekend was quite an eye opener, as I volunteered to clean-up a stretch of Virginia coastline on Assateague Island. I picked up six bags of trash, nine tires, and a bunch of chemically-treated lumber. The number one thing I found on the beach?

On a lighter note, it's great to see that Ocean Conservancy found so many other volunteers around the world to make a difference last weekend:
