A few things we can do to help!
REDUCE!
Since plastic is the main cause of this ocean destruction, No more bottled water, not only is it better for the environment, it is not much safer than tap water (in most cases) and can cost up to 3 times as much as gasoline and 1000 times as much as tap water. 2
Reuse!
Use a reusable grocery bag when going to the store instead of taking a plastic bag. When packing a lunch, use tupperware instead of plastic ziplock bags.1
COLLECT THEM ALL!
