Sea Turtle Street Sweep

Save sea turtles by picking up trash before it reaches the ocean.

Volunteer credit:

NO

Estimated time to complete:

1 - 3 hours

The Problem

Over 100 million tons of garbage float in the ocean, needlessly killing sea turtles.

The Solution

Where does that ocean garbage start? On the street, as litter! Pick up trash in your neighborhood before it washes down the drain.

Wear green, carry a backpack (like a shell), and sweep the streets to protect sea turtles!
