Everywhere I travel, I see rubbish in the streets, and it drives me crazy. My fellow shipmate Beena and I were lamenting the trash in front of our shipyard in Belfast, so we decided to take matters into our own hands (pun intended) and do a mini trash pick-up.
Several others have since joined the trash brigade and a new name was born: The Trashy Sailors (thanks John H, for the creative naming!). I am hoping this will be the start of an ongoing Pick Up Trash Around the World initiative, where we leave each port just a little cleaner than we found it.
