Did you know today begins a week dedicated to clean beaches? We have a week to plan how to contribute efforts for a healthy ecosystem. There are many organizations one can join in these efforts. July 4th is a tough day for the beach with a lot of fireworks and other trash being left behind. Taking a moment today to educate yourself, family and friends can be most helpful. If you are an educator- please use this as a starting point for your lessons. Let’s all do our part to help keep our beaches, oceans and shorelines trash free.
