The Ocean Blue Project has dedicated itself to protecting the ocean and the environment They have removed 181,273 pieces of debris from the ocean and have planted 8,900 trees and shrubs with their 5,800 volunteers. Check out the following excerpt from a page on their website about the importance of keeping your communities clean!
"Urban communities are vital to the health of our one world ocean and keeping our community litter free and chemical free is hard work. Everything goes down hill when we have flash flooding, or high winds. Finally, litter ending up in street drains, Urban streams, rivers, or lakes all end up flowing to the ocean over time depending on how far from the ocean you live.
Most importantly, creating local community cleanups is a great way to teach youth the importance of healthy communities and clean water projects. Lastly, the more ocean plastic we can remove depends on volunteers like you!"
