The Problem
Plastic pollution poses an urgent threat to the health of our oceans.
Did you know that we produce roughly 300 million tons of plastic every year?
- 8M metric tons of plastic enter the ocean every year.
- 90% of seabirds have plastic pieces in their stomachs.
- 700 species have ingested or become entangled in debris.
Our Action
120 unique meetup points covering 133 miles of coastline.
As part of the 1st Annual SoCal Beach Sweep participants collected and tracked over 2,000 lbs of trash. Beach cleanups help reduce plastic use by forcing participants to confront their own waste decisions as they work to rid the beach of items they use daily. Each item removed from the beach represents thousands of potential microplastics that will not pollute our oceans.
