Christy's actions

Freshwater + Oceans

Use a Reusable Water Bottle

Itr's estimated over a billion water bottles are thrown away each year. Even if they were recycled, that still uses energy and resources from the earth. I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

    Every day during my vacation to Miami Beach my husband and I would walk the beach to pick up trash. We always had bags full of plastic, paper, glass bottles and metal caps each day. It surprised us how much trash people threw away on the beach even with trash cans nearby. I even picked up a shirt from the weedy sand dunes that was just my size! How rewarding overall! I plan to join in more group cleanups in the future to keep our oceans and beaches clean.
