Sara Bayles, 32, collects garbage that includes discarded plastic toys as part of a 365-day project of documenting trash she's gathered in Santa Monica, California, September 2, 2010. She photographs some of the debris and after a 20-minute period she weighs the trash. She blogs about her activities on her post The Daily Ocean along with posting her photographs.
