Holiday wreaths are not only decorative, the circularity represents eternity with no beginning and no end. Wrack Wreaths made from plastic pollution represent the fact that plastic is eternal. It doesn’t biodegrade; it photodegrades, breaking down into smaller and smaller toxic bits that will pollute the environment forever. . Once again, I challenge all makers to create upcycled holiday wreaths and share them using the #wrackwreath hashtag. For inspiration, search #wrackwreath to view the creative submissions from past seasons. . This wreath was made with airsoft gun pellets, which I often find in the strand line. It goes without saying that airsoft games should be played in controlled areas where the BBs can be contained and cleaned up after each game. When left behind in the natural environment, they not only pollute the immediate area, the BBs can be washed into the watershed when it rains. After traveling down streams and rivers, the pellets eventually end up in the ocean where sea birds and marine life can mistake the colorful BBs for food. “Biodegradable” airsoft pellets are available, but as with all biodegradable alternatives, they don’t break down quickly enough to prevent damage to the ecosystem and/or injury when ingested by wildlife. . #wrackwreath #wreath #airsoft #airsoftpellets #litterati #2minutebeachclean #take3forthesea #plasticpollutes #plasticpollution #microplastics #marinedebris #planetorplastic #shoresweepNeat litter on Black Friday. #blackfriday #optout #optoutside #buynothingday #neatlitter #2minbcphotochallenge10 #2minutebeachclean #take3forthesea #shoresweep #plasticpollutes #planetorplastic #marinedebris🌎 E is for Earth—our only home.

Those who drink bottled water probably don’t know that it’s “one of the biggest scams of the century.” For “12 facts” that prove why reusable water bottles are a better choice, read the Business Insider article linked in my profile. . #choosetoreuse #reuseableadventure #reuserevolution #2minbcphotochallenge10 #2minutebeachclean #take3forthesea #shoresweep #plasticisforever #plasticpollution #plasticpollutes #planetorplastic #plasticwaterbottle #marinedebrisAs I enjoyed the sunset with Twilight Sparkle this evening, I felt deep appreciation for all the litter-picking, beach-cleaning, planet-loving unicorns out there.

The kids examined microplastics, created with plastic debris, and shared wise words about taking care of the environment. #shortsightedshades #dontpollute #putyourtrashinthebin #steamfest #wisewords #2minbcphotochallenge10 #litterati #shoresweep #2minutebeachclean #marinedebris #plasticpollutes #plasticpollution #planetorplastic #plasticisforever #reYOUseExpiration #date May 89 . #2minbcphotochallenge10 #2minutebeachclean #litterati #take3forthesea #plasticpollutes #plasticpollution #planetorplastic #plasticisforever #marinedebris #expirationdate #shoresweepRecent Comments

Del Rio’s Green Team Dream
When I walk at the beach, I often stop and scan the ocean out to the horizon. I notice the surfers as they wait patiently for the perfect wave, and I watch seabirds soaring overhead as they search for something … Continue reading
