For this year’s birthday, I
decided to spend it on the weekend doing something worthwhile for the
environment. I participated in the
coastal clean-up activity hosted by the scuba diving resort we always go to –
Scuba Bro. It’s something I’ve always
wanted to try since I’ve gotten into this hobby. So yay!
Of course we know that we’ll be
collecting garbage from the ocean but I didn’t expect it’s that dirty wherein
we had to literally swim to a sea of garbage.
Save for the usual plastic chip bags and slippers, my dive buddy/friend
Bong found a Dora bag (???), a basketball, rubbershoes and a plastic file
folder. Didn’t take long to fill our
sack though. Well at first there was
this hesitation to pick things one by one, I could see my red manicured nail
(eventually fashioned itself later into French-tips, haha!) squirm everytime I
touch a mossy plastic bag but as soon as
you see the amount of work that needs to be done you’re just simply compelled
to do your outmost in cleaning.
Sigh. True that the effort put in
was microscopic. I hope that each of us
do our share in protecting the environment.
The night party was fun and I got
to really bond with some new friends/ divers from my scuba diving group – Shark
Bait Huhaha! Haha!
