March 14 - Beach Clean-Up

Day 73 of a year of Kindness

My cousin Catherine and I went for a walk on the beach. We’ve been walking on this Narragansett beach since we were kids. But it’s the first time we thought of bringing a garbage bag. So, we walked, talked and picked up trash on a crisp, sunny day. It gave us a tremendous feeling of accomplishment and is kind to the environment.

Science of kindness:Many studies have shown that spending time in nature, especially on the coast, improves our mood, calms anxiety and helps us recharge. It also, just as importantly, protects wildlife and preserves marine habitats. Removing plastics and other hazardous waste reduces the risk of ingestion and entanglement for marine animals. #kindness #kindnessiscontagious @10kindnessclub #kindnessisfree #cleanthebeach #beachcleanup
