What We Do
Raising Awareness
Going to the beach is exciting and sometimes a lifelong dream. Our children, the elderly and the many people with health issues shouldn't have to be subjected to secondhand smoke blowing on the beaches.
Cigarette butts are the number one trash item collected during beach cleanups. They also contain micro plastics which are ingested by sea life.
We need to make people aware of the importance of preserving our environment and our lungs.
Building A Community
As a community, we band together to clean our beaches, parks, streets, and neighborhoods.
Our children love playing in the sand and sea. We need to unite and protect them from cigarette butts and other pollution littering our beaches.
Marine life and the creatures who live at the beach depend on clean sand and water.
