Have you heard about this site http://www.riseaboveplastics.org/
When you visit the site, have your speakers on, there's some great music as well!
I was first turned on to their site by this clip posted by Surfrider on Facebook.
I just love how moving this piece is and at the incredible message it gets across in just 30 seconds. I think every single person across the world should be required to see this clip to understand the impact we all have on water - wheter ocean, lake, stream, river, pond or other local bodies. What a way to hit home the impact plastics have on our oceans!
I watched this like 4-5 times just sitting at my desk, I couldn't get enough of it. But inside, it also got me thinking how Shoreline Cleanup season is around the corner and how much plastic we find during cleanups. I hate all of the plastics we find during cleanups - it's so aggrivating. I just always feel that if I was raised with enough sense to take home all of my trash and properly dispose of it when I'm at a public place, how did so many other people miss this lesson?
I pledge to reduce my plastic use at home and encourage others to take their trash out with them and properly recycle or dispose of it at home and not on our coastlines! I also pledge to share this clip with as many people as I can!
