5 Hadlock Earth Day Lessons Learned

1. Picking up trash on the beach is better exercise than strolling on the beach (wet trash is heavy trash).

2. It is important to keep in mind the plastic bottle that sprung from your own boat's cockpit during a wind gust last year in order to keep from getting pissed about all the trash on the beach today.

3. Double-bag the plastic grocery bags you're re-using for this trash (again, wet trash is heavy trash)

4. The super-heavy waterlogged Rubbermaid garbage receptacle lid that was too far from home to drag home may mysteriously move itself 50 yards closer to home in the time it takes to walk back home for more bags for the stuff you've already collected that has landed back on the beach (due to the lack of the aforementioned double-bagging) and back again to recollect that trash.

5. Plastic is FOREVER: reduce, reuse, recycle; in that order.

Happy Earth Day everyone!
