@cubpack361 pitched in during #mlkserviceday and removed 107 lbs. of #plastic and litter from #crandonparkbeach. They stuck around for some complimentary ice cream cones from our pals @openseascafemiami afterwards. The future is bright.

Officer Nelson Silva, of the MDPD Marine Patrol Unit, received a call of a dolphin in distress in the Shorecrest area. Officer Silva located a juvenile dolphin that was trapped in a fishing net. Watch the video to see how Officer Silva helped free the dolphin.

Free periods will never be the same @immaculatalas

Free periods will never be the same @immaculatalasalle Lasalle High School in Coconut Grove, Florida! With their NEW bayside FillABag station, students and staff may now turn an ordinary stroll into a meaningful clean up, removing debris from the living mangrove shoreline along #biscaynebay. Thank you for continuing to build capacity and instilling eco-consciousness and environmental stewardship among your learning community.

We had a blast kicking off your FAB activation with an impactful clean up with staff and students. Thank you @matirionda and @rlseashaw for initiating this conversation and making it happen.

When participating in gateway eco activities like clean ups, people are more likely to recognize the effects of marine debris on plant and wildlife, leading to a greater sense of awareness and how their choices and behaviors may impact the environment. Find a clean-up near you, or just go outside and fill a bag when you can.

RePosted from @kbcfoundation:
FillABag works with coastal communities to bring awareness to the problems of marine debris, beach litter, and single use plastic consumption.

FillABag began as a simple idea; install wooden posts with reusable buckets at local beaches and invite folks to turn an ordinary walk into a meaningful clean up.

In less than 3 years, and thanks to a comprehensive, guided, and scalable “Do It Yourself” solution, there are now 48 FillABag Stations around the world, including 20 in the Miami area. Locally, FillABag also implements a high school internship program, delivers hands-on workshops for K-12 schools, hosts team building engagements, spearheads community activism, mentors local area youth, and collaborates with like-minded organizations regionally, nationally, and globally.

When participating in eco-activism, individuals of all ages and backgrounds forge deeper connections with their environment and community, leading to thoughtful choices towards a more sustainable lifestyle.

To contribute to FillABag on Give Miami Day, Thursday, November 18th, please visit givemiamiday.org/FillABag.

*This year there is a 3 day early giving period for Give Miami Day, so you can start making contributions as early as Monday, November 15th!🥳
