My 5th post for @cleanplanet: section of beach at Punta Esmeralda cleaned
**Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!**


I am excited to submit my 5th post for @cleanplanet today! 

This time around, I headed back to the beach again as that is where I feel the cleaning actions are needed the most since the trash scattered around the beach usually ends up in the sea, eventually killing local marine life. 

I picked **Punta Esmeralda** as my target location for the action - a remote bay in the northern part of **Playa del Carmen** where mostly locals come to swim, sunbath, relax but unfortunately also litter. After I returned home from the cleaning action and started to work on this post, I actually found out that the same area was recently cleaned by the Mexican team of **4ocean**, an American company that removes plastic trash from oceans (to make bracelets from it),  but obviously, the place got littered very fast again.

Here is a little photo documentation of the action.

So this was my 5th official cleaning action for @cleanplanet as seen and captured by my dear @liltammy *(thank you for your assistance, honey :-)*. It took me about one hour and I think I collected some 5 kg of trash (mostly plastic and glass) this time. I cleaned approximately a 1-km stretch of the beach and surrounding vegetation at **Punta Esmeralda** here in the city of **Playa del Carmen** on the Caribbean coast of **Mexico**. Cannot wait to go and clean another place! :)

Hopefully, this post will inspire some other environmentally conscious Steemians to join this amazing initiative and come up with their own @cleanplanet actions and posts.


Thank you so much @cleanplanet for what you have been doing for Mother Nature and for the Steem community as well. Your efforts are very inspirational and highly appreciated!

Today, I would also like to give a huge shout-out to @kus-knee who came up with his own initiative to motivate and reward Steemians supporting @cleanplanet with their efforts. You can find out more about his initiative in [this post](https://steemit.com/cleanplanet/@kus-knee/the-old-dog-discusses-clean-planet-empowers-steemers-to-change-the-world-contest). Thank you, @kus-knee!
