While helping the planet and local beaches, these volunteers also helped themselves by contributing to their science project.
"Some people chose deforestation, fires. We chose plastic pollution, which is why we're at beach today," Tuy Diep said.
It wasn't just plastic bottles that these students found on Saturday. Everything from Barbie dolls, parts of pens and parts of toys were found in the sand. "Seeing everything coming from ocean and onto the beaches - that might harm animals," Ethan Pham said."It gets wild out there. A treasure trove. A table leg. Someone brought in a hard hat," Elizabeth Bailey of California State Parks told CBSLA Reporter Tena Ezzeddine.
Like many others this week in honor of Earth Day, these students did their part in helping take care of Mother nature's playgrounds.
