In case you didn’t catch it, your hard work in last year’s cleanup is big news!
Check out this story on the CTV.ca website: 100,000 kg of trash hauled from Canada’s coasts
Along with the 75 other countries who participated in the Ocean Conservany’s International Coastal Cleanup, more than 378,000 volunteers took to their local shorelines! Just like Canada’s shorelines, cigarettes and cigarette filters took the top spot (1,971,551 collected across the globe!). And with no major surprises, food wrappers and containers took the second place (693,612 items).
If you haven’t already registered for this year’s cleanup (Sept 20 – 28) head on over to www.vanaqua.org to register a cleanup location. To date, we already have 526 cleanups registered (with an estimated 21, 937 participants!).
Keep it up Canada!
