La Limpieza de las playas/Beach cleanup

Saturday was beach cleanup day in Playas de Tijuana and much of the world. Several hundred people picked up tons of trash here.

El Sabado era el dia para limpiar las playas en mucho del mundo y en Playas de Tijuana. Cientos de la gente recogieron toneladas de basura aqui.


This was the tee shirt, "We are creating consciousness in our society."

La playera.







The work.

El trabajo.





The result!

El resultado!





As the tee shirt says picking up the trash doesn't mean much if next week it is just the same. The point is to change the society. At the very least we got front page headlines in Sunday's major paper in Tijuana and a story that said in part, "In the face of the indifference of the authorities, the discharge of raw sewage into the open air increases in Playas de Tijuana."

Como dice la playera recoger la basura no tiene sentido si man~ana es igual a ayer. El punto es cambiar la sociedad. Por lo menos ganamos el domingo en la pagina primera del periodico mas grande en Tijuana la historia decir en parte, "Ante la indiferencia de autoridades, se multiplican las discargas de aguas negra a cielo abierto, en el sector Playas de Tijuana."
