Florida Keys Real Estate Blog

This past Memorial Day weekend was one of the busiest in recent history.  This is a good thing for our economy here in the Keys, but it wasn't so good for our waters.

The weekend after Memorial Day our family went to the Sandbar to relax,  but when we jumped off the boat into the water, we hit bottles - and cans, and cups, and bags and, and, and! There was garbage everywhere on the sandbar that had been left by the previous weekend guests.

My kids and their friends were great!  They jumped in and started collecting the bottles and cans and stuff and putting them in plastic bags that we had on our boat.  We put the bags on the boat and brought them ashore with us where we put them into the recycle bins and garbage cans. 

We would ask anyone who comes to the Keys to stay and enjoy themselves, but please take your garbage with you and put it in the proper bins so everyone can continue to enjoy the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys!
