What started out as a break from the pandemic has turned into a social enterprise with an environmental agenda. Angel Riley started visiting the beaches around her home in Eastern Passage and noticed all of the debris along the coast. So she started picking it up. That has evolved into the Scotian Shores Clean Up group and more than 100-thousand pounds of debris being removed from the coastline of Canada's Ocean Playground. The group also repurposes some of the material they find to create art and other items they sell to help offset their cleaning costs. This year, Angela decided to create a Valentine out of that debris and present it to Nova Scotia's Minister of Environment and Climate Change. That happened on Friday, ahead of another planned beach sweep before February 14th.
