Today, we did coastal clean-up. We mostly picked
up cigarette buds. At the beginning my group kept picking up wood. Jayson’s group found a dead lizard and a dead
frog. The frog was bloated and was about to burst and the intestines were about
to flow out. Everyone except Dad, Ryan Jr.’s
Dad, Jayson and Jeremiah said “Ew!”. My group found a lot of trash, including a
lighter, found by me. Celestine even
said their back car wheel had a diaper next to it. I also found a pizza-box holder. Janelle brought her dog, Caramel.
Before the
walk to where we were supposed to start picking trash, I gave Celestine a pack
of Mix, clip, ‘n’ Zip bracelets. Once,
when we were walking to where we were supposed to start, Celestine dropped the
bracelets I gave her. Javier saw the
pack that dropped from Celestine’s bag.
Seeing that it was a new type of trash, Javier picked it up. Everyone, except Celestine and me thought it
was trash. Wasn’t it lucky Javier picked
it up? 
Javier and James kept complaining
about when we could start picking up trash.
Afterwards, we went mad about trash.
Celestine found a watermelon skin and two chicken bones. We had a lot of fun picking up trash. Later, we sat down to eat our snacks. We had to take off our gloves so I threw mine
away. I had Mame monster noodles,
Celestine had chocolate cookies, Javier and James had bananas. Celestine said I always have the best
snacks. Later on, we met the
Scorpions. There was a big hill-ish rock
thing (the breakwater) that everyone except me climbed up.
On the way back Auntie El was talking with
me. Isaac said that his group found a
rusty oil tank full of sea water and a red plush toy snake. My group also found ceramic tiles. Jayson and Jeremiah found two Nerf gun
bullets. One of them was a black velcro
bullet and the other was a purple suction bullet. We collected 10
bags in total, but only 5 made it back to the start point. All in all, 38 kg of
rubbish collected from the beach, consisting of about 620 cigarette butts, lots
and lots of bottles and cans, and well, one or two dead animals.
