This is very sad to see! Here at the Refuge we like to do our part by hosting beach cleanups to make our beach as litter free as possible! This article gives great advice as to what you can do everyday: "Buy fresh and local. Avoid excess packaging. Use reusable cloth bags instead of plastic bags. Dispose of waste responsibly. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle." https://www.fws.gov/refuges/features/OceansOfTrash.html
