Video: Mar Vista's Marina DeBris Shows Why We Need Coastal Cleanup Day

Local Mar Vista artist takes the trash that finds its way into the ocean and turns it into art.

Sat. Sept. 17, is Heal the Bay's annual . DeBris notes in the video that picking up along the beach is just the bare minimum needed. We need to take a look at how much trash we throw away and what we waste.

Still, ff you ever needed an incentive to pick up a trash bag, throw on some gloves and head down to the beach on Saturday, this video should help.
