After rain in LA, everything on the street moves — cups, bags, foam, whatever didn't make it to a bin. It all funnels into a 130-square-mile drainage network and flows through Ballona Creek toward Santa Monica Bay. Since 2022, a trash interceptor at the creek's mouth has caught over 250,000 pounds of that before it reached the Pacific. Twice the projected haul. The creek is still carrying it. What gets caught depends on what we put down. * For transparency: this video was edited with the help of AI. #unitedbyblue #saveourwaters #earthfocus #plasticpollution #ballonacreek
