Cleaning the beach also improves the coastal and ocean ecosystem by ensuring that none of the trash kills marine life or is toxic enough to disrupt the aquatic life cycle. A beach clean-up is also an opportunity to gather new data about the state of our coasts and the types of trash that pollutes them.
Why is cleanup important?
A cleanup can also bring about a sense of community and responsibility to keep our homes and common areas safe and clean. Visible results might lead to a heightened interest and involvement among community members in reducing garbage and food waste, and preserving the environment.
