Do the Blue

Wondering what you might do to celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8th, 2009?  The Ocean Project has all kinds of great ideas!  Of course, you can “Do the Blue” by using your BluBag all day and NO plastic, but there are so many fun ways to show your love of the oceans.  Check out this fun link  at the Ocean Project for all kinds of great ideas. I am going to host a beach party and clean up – while we take a count of the Horseshoe Crabs (one of our Blue Planet Superheroes you know!).   What are you going to do?  Post your ideas here!

Take a close look aound the next time you go outside, you’ll see plastic.  On you next walk or drive to the store, look in the trees, bushes, ditches.  You’ll be amazed at how much there is -- and how we’ve become oblivious to it.  For just one day, count how many plastic bags you use -- and then throw away.  What about plastic forks, plates, drink bottles and more.  We can see the plastic littering our landscape every day but we do not see the tragic accumulation of plastic in our earth’s oceans, lakes, streams, beaches and more.  This toxic trash takes tens of thousands of animal lives ever year.  We can all help.  Each decision we make to elliminate plastic from our daily lives, helps this planet and all life on it.  Do the Blue  -- today!!!
