Happysays isn't run out of a highrise. We live island-style. So when the beach needs help, we take a break and grab a bag and clean the beach.
A lot of "vacation brands" have never smelled the kelp. Some even dump in dubious places when they are far from "home".
Happysays is small, local, and salty in the good way - we are within earshot of the water and understand that something must be done to prevent plastics from getting into the ecosystem.
Good neighbors, good people, gloves, bags, and a few good hours on the sand!
Hazards include needles/sharps/broken glass and used diapers/sh*tbags/p*ssbottles. Always equip masks and gloves for cleanup. Safety first.Happysays field notes
