A sparkling coastline is not the first thing you think of when you think of Texas. However, as many of our locals know, we’ve got plenty of wonderful beaches that are perfect for spending a relaxing day in the sun. Sadly, whenever there is something beautiful in nature you can count on some careless people messing it up. That’s why there is a big push on to stop trash dumping along the Texas shoreline. Jerry Patterson, a Texas Land Commissioner, has taken to the airwaves for a new public service announcement about the Adopt-A-Beach Spring Cleanup. This year, the concept is to “shock” people into cleaning up the beaches in the form of an unsavory menu.

On the PSA you’ll find Jerry delivering the message. “Fresh from the sea, enjoy these special dishes prepared just for you, like used cigarette butts and broken bottle combo,” says an unreasonably chipper voice while a plate piled with broken glass and beer bottle tops is served up. “Or why not try our new catch of the day – 55-gallon drum. And make sure to save plenty of room for our all-new dirty diaper pie.”

This is to show what visitors to the beaches leave behind. The annual cleanup will be held in April to get the beaches ready for the summer season, if only it wasn’t necessary.

“This ad is intentionally disgusting,” Jerry stated in a news release. “But sometimes folks need to be shocked into understanding that the trash they drop on the beach makes it into the ocean and eventually into our food chain. Hopefully this ad will motivate people to keep our beaches clean. Just don’t watch it before dinner.”

This year over 10,000 Texans are expected to take part in the beach sweeping at shorelines along the Texas Coast that include Galveston, Bolivar Peninsula, Seabrook, Surfside, Bryan Beach/Quintana Beach, Sargent Beach, Matagorda Beach and Palacios. And these cleanups are going to be held rain or shine!
