Leaving The Beach? Remember Your LEGOs

We know you savvy travelers. You would never dump your six-pack rings or your dirty napkins out on the beach. But how about picking up your toys? After a larger-than-life LEGO man was fished out of the sea in a Dutch resort town, it occurred to us that maybe some people need to be reminded not to leave 8-foot pieces of debris in their wake.

If you're planning to spend vacation time along a beach, a lake or a river, practice minimal impact camping by sticking to established trails, scattering or packing your ashes if you make a fire and choosing biodegradable soap over the ol' soap on a rope. Check your camping skills against this list of minimum-impact tricks. And please, while you're out at the beach this weekend, pick up your LEGOs when you're done playing with them.
