Did you correctly guess what the Ocean Conservancy lists as the most common item collected in beach cleanups? It isn't straws but cigarette butts. Read more on it here: http://ow.ly/LtSf50uR522

Now - what could be MORE disgusting?  And - they didn't come from folks ON the beach, but from upstream/up river into the storm drains and eventually to the ocean.  2.4 MILLION were collected internationally in 2017. 

I must admit to having contributed to this problem when I was a smoker...............disgusted now by my actions.

GLAD I don't do that anymore.

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
