February 9, 2013- IB CAS Beach Clean Up! Today was the second IB CAS clean up and we cleaned up the area near and around the Oceanside Pier in Oceanside, California. We took our plastic bags and gloves and began picking up trash along the sand, under the pier, and in the bushes along the street. I realized the same thing that I did while we were cleaning up the park in Vista; you don't really realize how much trash there is an an area around you until you are really looking for it and then you truly realize that impact that you are making upon the environment when you pick up the trash. It really makes you feel great that you are doing something useful to help the environment. When we were finished picking up trash, we separated out the recyclables to reuse for either an art project for the IB Art students, or to recycle. Either way, the beach was cleaner and we were recycling old materials.
2 hours of service.
