Did you know some trash items take up to 600 years to decompose????
A lot of this trash is ending up in our oceans and waterways killing our wildlife and harming our environment.
But we can help clean up the trash this Earth Day and always by providing information to researchers to create informed solutions to our global trash issue by using the Clean Swell App by @oceanconservancy.
All you have to do is download the app and no matter where you are, you can record your trash pick-up which then instantaneously uploads to Ocean Conservancy’s global ocean trash database.
To learn more, go to www.oceanconservancy.org and click on the Clean Swell App.
Let’s do some good for the planet :))))
