Sea Trash? Pick it Up!
If you "SEA" trash on or along our oceans, picking it up and disposing of it properly, saves our ocean friends. Use our barrels or another’s!
Reduce your use of single use plastic
Bring reusable bags to stores or don’t buy products that have unnecessary plastic on them.
Recycle properly
If you use single-use (and other) plastics that can be recycled, recycle them! Only 9% of plastic is recycled worldwide. Recycling helps to keep plastics out of the ocean and reduces the amount of “new” plastic in our world.
Participate in beach cleanups
A simple and direct way to reduce plastic in the oceans is to pick it up right off the beach. Look around in your area to see if an organization is setting up a beach cleanup or just go on your own.
Support plastic bans
Plastic bans could include banning plastic bags at stores, restaurant take-out containers, and plastic. Support creating such policies in your community!
Avoid products containing microbeads/microplastics
Tiny plastic particles called “microbeads” are increasingly found in products such as toothpaste, beauty products, mouth wash, and many more. Microbeads get flushed out into the oceans from our sewers, affecting hundreds of marine species, and then cycle back into our bodies from the fish we eat. Find alternative products that don’t use mircrobeads!
