Grrrrrr... trash on the beach...

When plastic was not mainstream.... going to the beach meant bringing the china and silver or our Tupperwares. And for the more adventurous... banana leaf !!!

Now, to-gos, take-outs is the order of the day...plastic cups, spoon and forks; paper plates and lots of snacks packaged in styros/plastics/ aluminum foil. Quick on the lips, forever trash you leave in the ocean?

As one global community, we are not free of the garbage stew from the ocean either. When typhoon comes, lots of debris washes up on most shores...

So next time you hit Pagudpud or any beach for that matter... please bring an empty trash bag with you and manage your trash responsibly. Better still, pick up the trash you run into. Be inspired by the clean up program in link below.

Feel good helping save our pristine beaches. Thank you.
