I’m not going to preach about this image, but I will say that this is the kind of reality that makes me want to be a better person–to be a person like Danny Wilson, that’s for sure. I guess that’s the little bit of Ed in me talking.

For my part, my family and I do our best to avoid buying plastic, and we certainly take the measures to dispose of our trash in the proper place. Also, we’ve stopped buying plastic water bottles, and use reusable containers when appropriate. But sometimes I don’t feel like what we do is enough. On that note, what are some things you do, to help keep our planet clean…?

On a similar note, I’ve swam in the ocean plenty of times myself, and I know how challenging it can sometimes be. I couldn’t imagine doing so while surrounded by a bunch of tangling garbage!
