GET INVOLVED:

Feeling like you don't know where to start? Here are some ways that you can impact change for people + planet right now.





  • Join a Beach Clean Up effort or organize your own! You can start one at your favorite location by the water or just around town. Grab a few friends, make it a family activity, start a clean up day with your class or school, you could even begin a town wide event!




If you're ready to jump in, volunteering time to do clean ups are probably the quickest way to take direct action in aiding wildlife that can become entangled or injured by discarded trash.





You can even take your activism further by writing/urging your local representatives (city council, mayor, governor, congress member, etc.) to pass legislation that prohibits littering or create other related policies that protect habitat and wildlife in your area. Even advocating for your city to provide waste receptacles goes a long way in keeping local waterways cleaner and wildlife a bit safer. YOUR VOICE MATTERS! Use it locally to create big changes.
