Meet one of our 2019 Marine Debris Creative Advocacy Competition Silver Award Winners, Plastic Free MV, from West Tisbury, Massachusetts! 🌊πŸ₯ˆπŸ‹ . The middle schoolers of Plastic Free MV understand that the ocean is the backbone of their fishing and tourist community, but after doing several beach clean-ups, they also recognize that marine debris is an increasing threat to their island home. Therefore, they wrote a bylaw to ban the sale and distribution of single-use plastic water and soda bottles, then went to work convincing residents to vote in their favor. Through their efforts, Plastic Free MV helped to make their community the first in North America to ban the sale of both single-use plastic water and soda bottles! Amazing! 🀩 . You can read more about Plastic Free MV's campaign and watch the video of the moment the vote passed πŸ€—on our website.
