Stone Mountain college student's beach litter pick-up goes viral


A college student from Stone Mountain has been thanked by Miami Beach Police for picking up litter on a busy beach. His efforts have gained widespread recognition in social media.
MBPD Major Paul Acosta went over to Joshua Caraway to thank him for his efforts and took to social media to share the good deed. "I told Joshua, you’ve been picking up trash for a long time instead of hanging out and listening to music,” Miami Beach Police Major Paul Acosta wrote on Twitter. “I asked why. He says, he loves animals and wants to take care of their home and ours.”

“I saw a lot of trash on the beach and that compelled me to start cleaning,” Caraway told Yahoo Lifestyle. “If it’s not cleaned up that trash would get washed in the ocean which is terrible for our Earth and sea animals.”
