2019’s Last Great Beaches Cleanup of the Season
Join Plastic Free Beach Toronto and Beaches Reduces on Sunday, September 8 for another awesome shoreline cleanup!
#Plasticpollution doesn’t belong in nature! Oceans and lakes, rivers and forests—as well as the diverse wildlife that call these habitats home—bear the burden of our waste. If current trends continue, scientists predict there will be more plastic than fish (by weight) in the sea by 2050. It’s also estimated that 80 percent of #oceanlitter originates on land!!
Why participate?
We have an enormous impact on our world, and many of us now want to make a difference. Together, we can turn things around for today and the generations to come! Be a part of the #solution on September 8th!
Where: Donald D. Summerville Outdoor Olympic Pool (on the beach in front of the building. Look out for Plastic Free Beach Toronto’s awesome cleanup flag!)
When: Sunday, September 29th, 10am- 12pm
Who: Everyone! Tell your neighbours, coworkers, friends and relatives! Share far and wide! *Cleanups are also kid-friendly so bring the whole family 😉
GOALS OF THIS CLEANUP:
Make the shoreline clean for the community
Save wildlife from our unnecessary pollution
