I was on a school field trip to the beach to learn about the ecosystem, and the damages that littering can do to it. We picked up a lot of cigarette butts that day. I knew something was up before we got back to the school, because I'd heard some of the teachers talking about it. Mind you I was only in Elementary school. I knew something very bad had happened when I got back to the school because they passed out flyers to all the students about it for them, and their parents. I will never forget finally getting home that day, and seeing what was on the tv. My parents had never shied away from showing me horror movies, and graphic stuff.. but that was a new one even for me.
