Take the “Rise above plastics” Pledge

You’ve probably heard about that huge section of the Pacific Ocean called the Great Pacific rubbish Patch. The Great Pacific rubbish Patch is twice the size of the continental United States, with 100 million tons of plastic.

The Surfrider Foundation Network is asking citizens to Take the Pledge, to commit to do your part to “Rise Above Plastics” and protect the world’s oceans, waves, beaches from plastic pollution.

What’s involved? Quite simple:

• Use reusable bottles.
• Use cloth bags.
• Recycle the plastic bags and bottles you already have.

Here’s a interesting fact, for every 13 plastic bags you don’t take at the store, you save sufficient petroleum to drive a car one mile.
