"It more than anything blew my mind. The amount of micro plastic is too much, and I did not realize how much of a problem cigarette butts are. Made me think of how much goes into marine life. In the end it was very therapeutic, and it was nice being able to bring my little one with me. Gave her the opportunity to learn as well."

"I felt a lot actually. Occasionally very disappointed in people for allowing this kind of trash to get around. It's devastating our planet is suffering like this but it's awesome there's plenty of people who want to help out."

"It's really upsetting seeing that people still litter, but it was actually pretty calming and enjoyable looking for tiny stuff in the sand. I think I do feel more connected to nature after this clean up."

"There was a lot more trash on the beach surprisingly, so it felt good to do even a small amount and make a small impact. Thank you for your time in setting up this event."
