Shoreline Cleanup
2026-07-02
From plastic straws to coffee lids, everything we throw away ends up somewhere. If it doesn’t make it to a landfill, it will find its way to waterways like rivers, lakes and oceans. It really doesn’t belong there – animals can mistake that junk for food and they can get tangled up in it too. Spend some time this June making a body of water near you a cleaner environment for the animals that live there with your own shoreline cleanup.
