Yeah, you're in California, right? The edge of that Pacific trash is not so far from you. There's so much still in there, but some people have come up with some ingenious solutions like solar powered boat things that just eat trash. Going to the dump is definitely a pain, but we just try to do a bit here and there and know that it makes at least some difference.
Also, thanks for the sweet comment on Steemitmamas. Very appreciated!! Seems like we have quite a bit in common. I love the community I find on here.
