Take a moment today to reflect on the beauty and benefits of our planet's blue waters-- its oceans. Even if you live inland, reflect on what the world's oceans provide you, such as seafood, salt, medicine and climate. This year's focus is on eliminating or minimizing plastics that foul the oceans, creating coastal litter and killing untold numbers of sea creatures and mammals. How can you help?
- Reduce your plastic use. Use glass containers for storage and buy milk in waxed cartons instead of plastic jugs. Put filtered water into a thermos instead of buying bottled water. Buy beverages in glass bottles. Recycle instead of tossing plastics into landfills, or worse yet out your car windows.
- Use your everyday flatware for family gatherings and picnics instead of plastic cutlery
- When making a donation, think of those organizations who work tirelessly to keep our oceans clean
We only have one planet and it belies on all of us to take care of it.
