MIAMI – On Saturday, September 17th, South Florida beach locations will welcome thousands of volunteers for Intercontinental Coastal Cleanup.
“You know who cleans the mangroves? No just one,” says Manny Rionda, founder of Fill-A-Bag.
Organizations like Fill-A-Bag will be cleansing up 1000’s of lbs . of trash on the seashore, and in the mangroves.
In 2021, Florida volunteers picked up additional than 90,000lbs of trash in one weekend.
This weekend, there will be extra than 50 beach cleanup events in South Florida.
“You’ll under no circumstances stop to be shocked with what you are going to discover in a beach cleanup,” claims Rionda.
The most uncovered litter items? Cigarette butts, bottle caps, and plastic.
“The longer this is in this article, the extra it breaks down and animals try to eat this…it’s not superior for them,” claims Rionda.
Rionda states even if folks won’t be able to show up at this weekend’s gatherings, tiny actions to make the seashore cleaner will make long lasting impacts.
