Over the past year our OSE meeting conversations have regularly turned to concerns about plastic pollution and it’s degradation of our beloved Earth. We decided to turn our concerns to action by doing a clean-up at Laguna Beach in California.
We got started around 6:30 a.m. New people continued to show up and spread out across the beachfront. Passersby frequently stopped to ask why we were there and thanked us for taking time to clean-up the beach.
We started the event with a reminder that for all the magnificent cathedrals and temples humans have built, nothing can match the splendor of Nature. We weren’t there just picking-up trash, but sanctifying the our beloved Mother Earth.
We closed the event by coming together to look at all the items we picked-up and sorted out things that could be recycled. Then we said a collective prayer of gratitude for our amazing Earth and the bounty of all its gifts that sustain us.
It was wonderful to know we made the beach more beautiful for the day’s visitors, and to be in the company of people who are motivated to make the world a bit better.
