A Daily Collection of Garbage Washed Ashore on New York's Southampton Beach
the beautiful beach
WELCOME
When I am out in Southampton, every morning I take a walk on the beach. Last year, I started picking up trash, and this year I am posting these photos in order to share them with you.
Picking up trash has been enlightening and gratifying. I am heartened by President Obama's call for volunteerism and I hope to inspire others to clean up their beaches and neighborhoods.

Thank you to Kevin Byrne, who separates the beach trash that we pick up and recycles the plastics and other items.
