Make 2022 Your Bluest Year Yet
#NewYearBlueYear Challenge
Participate in Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s #NewYearBlueYear Challenge! They say it takes 21 days to create a habit, and LMC is challenging you to turn your habits blue this year! Each month, LMC will be posting a challenge to help participants get rid of disposable plastic items commonly used in everyday life.
The problem with plastic is that it will never go away. Instead, plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces over time but always will remain plastic. Even when it is microscopic, plastic threatens the health of humans, wildlife, and our planet.
As one of your resolutions for 2022, join LMC and see just how powerful small, everyday actions can be!
Introducing March #NewYearBlueYear Challenge:
Break-Up with Plastic Straws!
Refuse plastic straws offered with takeout orders
Tips to Succeed this Challenge
- Consider replacing with sustainable alternatives such as: Metal Straws, Bamboo Straws, or Portable/Collapsible Straws
- The best thing you can do to stop our planet's plastic problem is to reduce your use of disposable plastic products
More than 300 million tons of plastic are created each year, 50% of which is used to make single-use disposable items like plastic bags, coffee cups, and straws, that are created simply to be thrown away (Marine Plastic Pollution, 2021)
Help reduce the amount of plastic pollution entering the marine environment by taking a monthly pledge to refuse single use!
Take the pledge to enter in the #NewYearBlueYear challenge for your chance to win a Loggerhead branded YETI. Winners will be announced at the end of each month!
