As a former custodian, William Timperley performed maintenance and janitorial duties for technology, education, manufacturing, and health care facilities. In addition to his professional activities, William Timperley’s volunteer efforts include assisting at animal shelters and cleaning beaches.
Beaches attract more than sunbathers, surfers, and swimmers. Add such debris as truck tires, furniture, and an endless stream of cigarette butts to the sights that litter beaches. Fortunately, thousands of citizens in coastal areas volunteer for scheduled events to clean beaches and raise public awareness about keeping America’s beaches clean and safe for humans and marine life.
Defined as any man-made material found in waterways and on coastlines, marine debris gathers from land and sea sources. Ultimately, human beings create and cause the accumulation of marine debris. The wind and tides carry inadequately secured trash cans, plastic bags and containers, fishing line, and a host of other trash, into rivers and oceans and onto beaches.
