We’ve been cold the last couple years. This year we’re back at it and heating up… because the ocean is too. This week, as reported by Grist, a new paper titled “Another Year of Record Heat for the Oceans” was published in the journal, Advances in Atmospheric Science.

Our aim is to promote and celebrate progress and achievements in ocean conservation and regeneration. This is most effective when we’re grounded and honest about where we are now. Good news, events, and fresh dj mixes coming up, but first let’s ground. Check out the article in Grist below.

Those higher temperatures could lead to more coastal erosion, flooding, and extreme weather

Have you ever been on a beach where you couldn’t collect all the plastic? You had to eventually call it on the cleanup even though there was still tons of plastic bits remaining.
This is somewhat representative of the plastic problem.
Plastic itself isn’t inherently bad. It’s a great material when used correctly. The problem is we let this non biodegradable substance infiltrate so many parts of society that we can barely recall it now that we know it is seriously detrimental for the environment! 😳Plastic will not just be chilling, but it will be killing whales & disrupting hormones & reproductive systems in living creatures for it’s predicted lifetime of 1000 years.
Instead of walking away from a beach of trash or this complicated plastic problem, we just keep picking up trash, bit by bit. We stay open minded and keep trying to uncover the better way. Cleaning beaches is important but the main problem is at the source. It’s not as sexy as a trashed beach being restored to pristine sand; which is why it needs our support more than ever. Pressuring corporations to design plastic OUT of their products is a huge task. You and I can quit plastics, but if the rest of the world continues buying all the plastic our beaches will continue to look like this and our weekends will still be full of beach clean events.
We need to stop production of plastics which means we are up against big oil. Big task! Sometimes overwhelming. Lucky we have aligning the global organisations that are working to pressure corporations to turn off the tap on plastics.
Individual impact does matter. Beach cleans matter. Bringing your own cup and using less plastic matters. Each bit of plastic on this beach was a consumer choice saying YES to some product!!! Your choices do add up. Start with yourself. Then expand to your community. Support the breakfreefromplastic movement! We are in this together! 💙

If we consume less, they will make less. How we spend and how we manage our own personal waste are so powerful...really all we need to see the change. Don't wait for policy. Quit the plastic addiction today!
