Just like many other countries all over the world, we have a big plastic issue and we
00:22
don't have a good solution to our plastic and often time these plastics end up along
00:26
the beaches.
00:27
We just really do love the ocean.
00:29
We love going down to the ocean to calm our soul, to swim, sports.
00:34
It's really an important part of our lives and we really do want to protect it.
00:57
Everybody was involved.
01:06
You have your non-profit organizations being involved.
01:09
The government, the municipalities, individuals, sports groups, school kids.
01:16
So anyone who was anyone was there and they were cleaning up the beaches.
01:20
So it was really great just to see different people from different backgrounds coming together
01:24
for this one single cause.
01:27
We see in particular we had a few groups of school kids that were with us as well
01:31
as some of the general public who came down, took equipment from us and just came down
01:35
to clean the beaches, which was very, very heartwarming.
01:57
It allows people to realize what happens to our trash once it leaves our hands.
02:19
Where does it end up?
02:20
And a lot of this trash ends up in the ocean.
02:22
So we hope that people after they come to an event like this, they'll go home, they'll
02:26
think about their actions.
02:28
We can all think of ways to better improve ourselves.
02:31
And if we are able to instill that kind of thought in the local public, then it's a win.
02:51
As a marine biologist who's actually researching microplastics on a day to day level, I'm
02:56
often asked if beach cleanups are enough.
02:59
Is it enough to solve our plastic problem?
03:02
And my answer is absolutely not.
03:04
So if we really want to see a difference of the amount of plastic reaching the oceans,
03:08
there are many things that need to be changed.
03:11
The biggest one is from industry, but we also have a power to make a difference.
03:16
So my suggestion would be find ways to remove single use plastics from your lives.
