We all need to do our part to help clean up Mother Earth and her oceans

Did you know:

• The equivalent of a garbage truck of plastic is dumped into the ocean every minute.

• Almost all the plastic ever produced is still around.

• 98% of ocean pollution comes from land.

• By 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean (by weight).

• One in four fish tested have plastic in them.

So, what can we do to help?

• Stop using plastic bottles

A reusable bottle is better for the environment, more cost efficient and keeps your drink colder longer.

• Say goodbye to grocery bags

Plastic grocery bags can be replaced with reusable ones. Yes, even produce bags.

• Ditch plastic straws

Plastic straws can be replaced with metal ones.

• Buying in bulk makes a big impact

Sometimes we don't notice the amount of packaging that comes with each product, but it adds up pretty fast.

• Take plastic out of takeout

Decline bags and utensils when ordering takeout. You can even ask restaurants to pack food in your own containers.

• Reel in old line

Change your fishing line routinely to keep old, stretched line out of our oceans where it can harm sea life. To learn more about monofilament recycling, visit BoatUS.org
