This #WorldOceanDay let’s show and grow support for the movement to protect at least 30% of our blue planet by 2030. Together we can turn the tide, curb the climate crisis and protect biodiversity worldwide.
Here are some tips on how you can support the movement:
- Reduce Single-Use Plastics: Avoid using single-use plastics such as plastic bags, straws, bottles, and cutlery. Instead, opt for reusable alternatives like cloth bags, stainless steel water bottles, and bamboo or metal straws.
- Properly Dispose of Trash: Dispose of waste properly, ensuring it doesn’t end up in the ocean. Recycle whenever possible and dispose of trash in designated bins. Participate in local beach or coastal cleanups to help remove litter from the shoreline.
- Minimize Chemical Usage: Be mindful of the chemicals you use at home and ensure they don’t find their way into drains and water systems. Opt for environmentally friendly cleaning products and avoid the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides in your garden.
- Conserve Water: Practice water conservation to reduce the strain on freshwater sources and prevent excessive runoff into the ocean. Take shorter showers, fix leaks promptly, and use water-efficient appliances.
- Be Mindful of Marine Life: Avoid activities that harm marine life, such as touching or feeding marine animals, and refrain from purchasing products made from endangered or illegally harvested species.
Remember, even small actions can make a difference when it comes to protecting the ocean. By adopting these practices and encouraging others to do the same, we can contribute to the preservation of marine ecosystems and the well-being of our planet.
