Beaches are extremely polluted places, so I have been working to clean our local beaches almost every week. I also hosted the International Coastal Cleanup for our local beaches and several community cleanups. We remove all kinds of garbage like plastics, cigarette butts, bottle caps and other very detrimental items like rope, 6 pack rings, oil containers. These items endanger our wildlife and every piece of garbage disposed of properly may save animals, birds or fish from dangerous entanglement or perhaps indirectly improve our health.

We have made a tremendous impact on cleaning our beaches and the most important thing is heightened awareness from our community. We're now working on a joint campaign with 2 non-profits and our town to further awareness and prevention.

Think about hosting and organizing your own cleanup, whether it be near water or not. Eventually, a lot of the garbage with storm water runoff ends up in our rivers and waterways. If you'd like more information on how to start my project in YOUR area, please leave me a comment!
