Small things you can do to make a change
Ocean pollution and waste is a big problem, but small lifestyle changes can make a huge difference. There are daily, monthly and annual things that can be done to make a meaningful impact.
- Make a routine of doing a community trash cleanup every month or year.
- Minimize waste while grocery shopping; follow the zero waste lifestyle*.

- Bring your own cups and mugs to coffee shops
- Invest in stainless steel or glass food containers
