2. Spread the word! iwantmyoceanback and CleanSeas can not function without awareness.
3. Participate in events or fundraisers! It is going to cost money to fix what we broke.
4. Lead your community! Facilitate change! If we slowly work to eliminate most single use plastics, community by community, we can change the world.
5. Encourage yourself and others (possibly via social media) to change the way you reduce, reuse, and recycle at home - you personally can change the world!]]> 2021-01-08 00:00:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jackcaldwell1/socialmediaocean/wish/1065551898 jackcaldwell1 https://padlet.com/jackcaldwell1/socialmediaocean/wish/1067546991 2021-01-08 15:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jackcaldwell1/socialmediaocean/wish/1067546991
