I have done clean ups in the past.

I'm done with that after this years season.

Tourists need to clean up after themselves.

Since we all know that won't happen, it's up to us to maintain.

It needs to be something you truly want to do and believe in... Do it with happiness because you want to and because you care.

If you don't want to do, then that's cool. It is't only tourists leaving their trash. And the trash is sometimes washed up from other areas.

The goal is to keep our beaches and water clean. YES, we need much more effort, I do agree.
