On a beach on NASA's Kennedy Space Center, more than 130 volunteers from the joint NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service contract organizations gave up an afternoon to gather all the “unnatural” items that had accumulated on 6.1 miles of central Florida east coast shoreline during the past 12 months. This pickup truck is filled with part of the 450 garbage bags and 150 bags filled with recyclable plastic and glass collected by volunteers. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis
