Help spread the word about this video.Much of the trash on our streets and in our neighborhoods ends up in our waterways, beginning a long, slow march to the ocean. And this trash, slowly degrading our ocean, impacts the food we eat and the water we drink. Join Ocean Conservancy and pledge to take on the trash. It's simple—do what you can to reduce your trash impact, clean up an open space near you or even join the 27th annual International Coastal Cleanup this September.
Ocean trash is a threat to our economies, wildlife, habitat, health and food safety. Over the past 26 years, Ocean Conservancy volunteers have collected over 150 million pounds of trash from our coasts and waterways, including enough cups and cutlery to host a picnic for 2.15 million people.
We can all do our part to create clean beaches for everyone to enjoy, cleaner water for fish and marine wildlife, and a healthier ocean for those whose lives depend on it. But it's going to take all of us coming together to make it happen.
Pledge to Take on the Trash—commit to reduce your impact and clean up a local open space, beach or waterway.

Now is the time to take action. In just a few days, we'll be mobilizing over 500,000 volunteers from around the world to help pick up trash – in our neighborhoods, waterways and beaches – to help build a healthier ocean. You can join us...

WE BORROWED THE FUTURE FROM OUR CHILDREN. LET US KEEP THE PRESENT SAFE, CLEAN AND HEALTHY FOR THEM!
ok, will find out if my son is done reading it...hugs...
I live near the sea and enjoy the walking by the shoreline nearly every day. I will always do what I can to keep the beach clean and safe. I cannot understand people who come down to the coast to enjoy the sea and then leave their rubbish behind on the beach for somebody else to clean up or for it to be swept out into the sea endangering the marine life.
Every time I go to Leighton Beach with my dog, I carry 2 bags: one poo-bag and another one to collect rubbish... It's amazing the amount of crap you find washed off on the shore. If everyone did that, the beach would be kept clean and it would raise awareness for people to stop throwing rubbish everywhere.
I love this!!!!
I live close to a beach in mexico and is a shame for me that many people throw away trash at the beach :'(... I really hope more people help us to make from this world a better place to live :(
SIGNE **PARTAGE **.
