Let's enjoy the beach with trash?

The purpose of my artwork is to let everyone see a preview of the beaches in California. I ask my audience; “Let’s enjoy the beach with trash?” This question is asked to make people realize how much trash the beaches have. Everyone goes out to the beaches to enjoy time with themselves, family, and friends. Never the less, people don’t take notice of the surroundings.  

My artwork lets everyone know how much trash one part of the beach has. The beaches in California are a thousand times bigger and have more trash than what my replica has. The trash on my project is from one section of Dockweiler State Beach that I collected with Heal the Bay. My art project contains cigarette buds, water bottles, bags of chips, plastic utensils, foam, paper, bottle caps, and everything else you can think of. Imagine, this is just one section of Dockweiler State Beach; how much more does this and other beaches have?

All the trash that is thrown in the streets gets flushed down the sewer and lands by the ocean. The animals get sick or die because they do not realize what they are eating is junk coming from the sewer. These animals do not deserve to live in a place that is filled with pollution. That is why I want to bring awareness and have everyone that visits the beaches take a bag with them and pick up trash before leaving.
