I drove by the ocean yesterday...

And I'm deeply concerned by what I see every time I take a stroll. Or count the oil tankers just offshore. And learn new stats about how many illnesses of surfers and swimmers and vacationers are caused by polluted water along these sandy beaches.

Here's the story about ocean pollution, in case you haven't had a recent update.

So...take action today. Use reusable containers. Refuse to take that plastic bottle of water, Carry a cup with you. Use less. Wash your dishes and reuse scrap paper...

It all sounds so un-American, doesn't it?

But if you love the beauty of America, it can sound Very-American!
