6. Always dispose of used motor oil properly. Never dump it in a storm drain or field. Instead, take it to a gas station or approved collection area for recycling.

7. When you go to the beach, make sure you not only pick up your trash, but try and pick up at least one piece of someone else's. If everyone did this, we'd have our beaches and coastlines looking better in no time!

8. Cut back on your use of fertilizers. Excess fertilizer that makes it into our waterways can cause harmful plankton blooms that can harm fish, marine mammals and other sea life.

9. Avoid using single use plastic bottles. These and other types of plastics often end up on our beaches and in our oceans, where they harm birds, sea turtles and other marine life. Instead, use a sports bottle or other type of reusable container.

10. Join the Surfrider Foundation! We are a non-profit grassroots environmental organization that works to protect oceans, waves and beaches across the globe.

So there you have it folks, some great advice to help keep our beaches clean and beautiful for future generations from an organization dedicated to the cause. For more information on the Surfrider Foundation visit their website: www.surfrider.org. And take good care of our beaches!
