Hace poco, en mi último viaje con mi mamá a Gibara, antes de ir al Hoyito, habíamos decidido ir a otra playa, desde lejos, se veía hermosa. El mar azul, la brisa rica, las rocas… todo prometía una tarde linda.

Pero al acercarnos, el panorama cambió. Había basura por todas partes: latas, vidrios, plásticos… incluso dentro del agua. Nos dio miedo bañarnos, pero más que eso, sentimos tristeza. Ese lugar tan bonito se ha convertido en un basurero, no por accidente, sino por descuido nuestro.

Pudimos tomarnos una linda foto con el mar de fondo, y ese momento entre madre e hija fue especial. Pero en otras imágenes se ve lo que muchos prefieren ignorar: una playa herida por la indiferencia.

Cuidar nuestras playas no cuesta tanto. Es tan simple como no dejar basura, recoger lo que usamos y respetar lo que nos rodea. La naturaleza nos da belleza todos los días… lo mínimo que podemos hacer es cuidarla.

Ojalá la próxima vez que volvamos, ese mar nos reciba limpio y sin miedo. Porque todavía se puede.

Recently, on my last trip with my mom to Gibara, before going to El Hoyito, we had decided to go to another beach, from afar, it looked beautiful. The blue sea, the rich breeze, the rocks... everything promised a nice afternoon.

But as we got closer, the panorama changed. There was garbage everywhere: cans, glass, plastics... even in the water. We were afraid to swim, but more than that, we felt sadness. This beautiful place has become a garbage dump, not by accident, but by our carelessness.

We were able to take a nice picture with the sea in the background, and that moment between mother and daughter was special. But in other images you can see what many prefer to ignore: a beach wounded by indifference.

Taking care of our beaches does not cost that much. It is as simple as not leaving trash, picking up after ourselves and respecting our surroundings. Nature gives us beauty every day... the least we can do is to take care of it.

Hopefully the next time we return, that sea will receive us clean and without fear. Because we still can.
