Beach Mess


Simone looked in dismay at her favourite beach. The sand was littered with empty bottles of all kinds: pop, coolers, beers. Garbarge had been strewn all over the place. People walked along, picking up the trash.

Oblivious to the mess, little B raced to the water's edge, where Simone picked up a couple of broken glass pieces.

When they retreated back to the car, Simone saw the police community van setting up shop. It turned out that kids had partied on the beach the night prior and the police needed people to make their feelings known about the detritus on the beach before the city would consent to do something about the issue.

Simone signed a comment card but... well, c'mon. Partying is okay but clean up after your mess. Please? Behave honourably. The world will be a better place for all of us.
