Day 1 of #SummerVacation, but thanks to #Beryl, plans are going to change. The storm is headed to the #TexasGulfCoast, affecting the weather at Port Aransas, where we have rented a beach house. Pretty bummed.
My heart absolutely breaks at the amount of litter and plastics on the beach. You hear and watch all the news reports, but seeing it for yourself really opens your eyes. This planet is in big trouble, and it just breaks my heart. #Litter #Plastics #Ocean #TexasGulfCoast #SurfsideBeach #ThisCritterDontLitter #Recycle #BanSingleUsePlastic
