We could see one of the largest fire sales of public lands in our nation’s history affecting nearly 3 million acres and 120 national parks. The Senate reconciliation bill also slashes funding for park staffing and prioritizes oil & gas drilling. Act now: npca.org/notforsale

Mike Lee is wrong. His plan puts 250+ million acres of our national forests and public lands at risk of being sold to private developers. We hike, hunt, fish and explore these lands—our kids should have the chance to. We won't let them go without a fight. sc.org/BudgetBill

A single piece of polystyrene = thousands of microplastics in the ocean. Microplastics that become part of the ecosystem and harm marine life. So if you see a piece of polystyrene on the coastline, pick it up and you will save the planet from thousands of microplastics.

This beach used to be a place for families, for memories, for the sound of waves. Now it’s buried in plastic — bottles, bags, toys, and everything we’ve left behind. By 2050, there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish. It’s a reality we can’t ignore. At 4ocean, we’re

New research shows plastic bag bans and fees are cutting shoreline plastic pollution—though not eliminating it entirely. These policies significantly reduce debris that harms marine life and wildlife. ktla.com/news/californi… #Conservation #PlasticFree

Ditch the plastic water bottle and opt for a reusable bottle instead! Did you know that 1 million plastic water bottles are bought in the U.S. every minute?

Well, this might be the cutest traffic jam you’ll see all year! Our partner Ashanti (Ghana) is a project born in 2021 that protects more than 270 nests and 13,000 hatchlings of olive ridleys, greens, and leatherbacks. Estimated hatchlings saved: 4,000 Photo: Ashanti (Ghana)

Today is #PlasticBagFreeDay. 🦀 It’s estimated that 5 trillion polluting plastic bags are used each year. And they are only used for 15 minutes or less. 😱 By opting for reusable bags, you could reduce your plastic bag use by 700 single-use bags per year! 🏆 #PlasticPollutes

*Plastic Free July Tip #3 Hosting a party? Skip the single-use stuff and go reusable when you can. If disposables are a must, choose compostable plates, cups, napkins, and utensils instead. Small swaps = big impact. #PlasticFreeJuly #SustainableLiving #PartyTips

Personal care = major plastic waste. Most soaps & shampoos come in plastic bottles.Try bar soap instead—many come in paper or no packaging. Take it further: Bar shampoo, conditioner & face wash exist too! #PlasticFreeJuly #LowWasteLiving #SustainableSwapsAsk

Plastic wrap & foil keep food fresh, but they take 400 years to break down in landfills! 😱 Choose reusable alternatives like beeswax wraps or stretchable lids to reduce waste and help the planet. 🌍✨ #SustainableLiving #ZeroWaste

Instead of buying plastic-packed tools, books, or party supplies you’ll only use once, try borrowing from a local library or neighborhood sharing group to reduce waste and save money.
