... to all that were offended by my rant and the firestorm it touched off. HOWEVER, I think something very positive came from the raising of a few hackles- a discussion of the need to take care of what we treasure. I frequently haul trash off of beaches from the Hill to Quonny, from Charleston to PJ and the cliffs of Gansett. My kids are often with me and are learning stewardship of the resource. Let's educate those that do make the messes and even enlist their help in cleaning up, as DZ has done. The RI shore is too special a place to lose it due to the carelessness of a few others. WE ARE THE MASTERS OF OUR OWN FATE and must take responsibility for the resources we all value. Anyone want to drink some good beer and pick up trash this weekend?
