even small actions can make us the saviors of the ocean
Joining volunteer programs for coastal and marine clean-up organized by various organizations allows actively participate in marine environment protection by removing litter, restoring habitats, and aiding in the conservation of marine species.
Simply reducing the use of plastic bags and bottles can reduce the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean.
Waste separation reduce the amount of waste that can end up in the ocean. Material recycling helps conserve natural resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
