A Prelude to Earth Day

Here in the U.S., Earth Day doesn’t occur until April 22. But down in the British Virgin Islands, staff and house guests of the renowned waterside resort called The Bitter End Yacht Club got a head start on environmental housekeeping with their own Go Green event, timed with St. Patty’s Day.

Those of us who’ve had the pleasure of visiting that picture-perfect resort on Virgin Gorda’s North Sound might find it hard to believe there was any trash for do-gooders to pick up, but as evidenced by the photo above, all sorts of garbage finds its way onto nearby beaches — even at least one bikini top.
