Mark your calendars for next Saturday, September 21 — it's #InternationalCoastalCleanup Day! 🗑️🌊 Since 1986, this day has empowered ocean lovers like you to make a difference for our oceans and coastlines. Find and join your local cleanup, raise awareness by telling friends and family, and take action against the ocean plastic crisis. 💪 A recent study estimates that every year, 114 billion pounds or 52 million metric tons of plastic waste is produced worldwide. That's enough to fill New York City’s Central Park with waste as high as the iconic Empire State Building. 😱 So make a plan, sign up for a local cleanup, and invite a friend to join the clean ocean movement. Reshare to spread the word! 💙
