If you wouldn’t mind, could you bring along a garbage bag on your next beach visit? Really, our beaches are the pits. Before you pack up the family this summer, toss a few plastic bags in the beach bag and help your fellow vacationer enjoy a clean beach. A few years ago there was a big beach cleanup along New Jersey’s 127-mile coastline and organizers found 242,714 pieces of debris weighing nearly 66,000 pounds.
