Kayakers, volunteers clean San Diego River Estuary!
Lots of good people volunteered to clean up the San Diego River Estuary today. Some took to kayaks, others walked along the shoreline, filling bags with nasty litter and debris. The river estuary, emptying into the Pacific Ocean between Mission Bay and Ocean Beach, is a very important wetland in this region, and millions of birds rely on it during their migrations. Small bits of trash ingested by birds and other wildlife can be fatal.
The estuary cleanup was organized by The San Diego River Park Foundation. Kayakers are permitted to enter the San Diego River Estuary only one time every year–during this special event. I walked along the river and saw what ordinary people can achieve when working unselfishly for the good of our world.

Me too. Sometimes the bad stuff we see on the news and in history seems to overwhelm what is good. But the good is in most people, I believe.

I feel that way too. The bad apples make it rough on all of us.

Amen. But I just now sat down after viewing our big MLK parade (which I’ll blog shortly) and my faith in humanity has been bolstered again!
