We picked up litter last week at Miami Beach as part of the Paubox Engineering team offsite in Florida.

What's happening: To kick off our two-day Engineering team offsite, we started with community service at the Miami Beach Boardwalk.

Why it matters: Our mission is to become the market leader for HIPAA compliant email security and we believe the leader always gives back.

Therefore, we should be doing community service.

The bottom line: We found a good number of cigarette butts, though not many large or heavy trash items. We were impressed with how clean Miami Beach was.
