I am so proud of you girls. You are doing an amazing thing. I know there is a lot of water pollution here in California. It is so sad when we go to the beach and it is covered with garbage. Obviously you know that that effects more then just the view it effects the animals too. One time we went to Long Beach and it was covered with garbage. That was sad, but as we were walking to find a cleaner beach we noticed dead fish being washed up on shore and even a couple of dead seagulls were lying on the beach. Seeing the animals made it just that much sadder. So we really appreciate everything you are doing. By getting this information out you are effect more than just people in Utah, so thank you.
