Congrats Longo's on a really fun employee cleanup, with a twist! We hosted a plastic pellet blitz at Sir Casimir Gzowski park and staff removed 1,725 pellets from 18 small quadrats. If scaled up across the beach we estimate that we could clean more than 600,000 pellets.

Last year we removed 7,022 #PlasticPellets from 23 quadrats (1.5 sq m each). How many will we uncover this year? On May 10 learn standard protocols to monitor + clean up this source of #microplastics to the #GreatLakes. #FightingFloatablesTO #ActONLitter pelletbitz.eventbrite.ca

Our new #FightingFloatablesTO team of student researchers have descended upon the #Toronto waterfront to remove #PlasticPollution. Using trash traps & manual skimming w/ poles, our team will clean the waterfront + monitor what we find to inform preventative solutions!
