WE RECYCLE OUR LITTER & MONO-FILAMENT FISHING LINE

Upcoming cleanups, events, education, and more.  We are the leaders in "GREEN" cleanups.  We provide the cleanup materials, refreshments, volunteer hours and the parking is free. Join us and you'll leave knowing you have left less of an ecological footprint for future generations.

•   Start your 2012 off a resolution that can last a lifetime.  Help us clean up our beaches at our monthly cleanups.  Our next one will be January 28, at Ocean Inlet Park, Ocean Ridge from 8:00 to 10:30 a.m.  If you would like to let us know you are coming or have questions e-mail us at info@seaangels.org.  If not just show up and register when you get there.  Click here for more dates.
  

• Styrofoam...not a friend to our environment.  Check out our new education page regarding this nasty piece of litter and the impact it has on our animals and environment.  CLICK HERE

• We believe our children can make a difference.  Parents bring your young ones to show them how cleaning the beach can help our earth. Teachers and organizations you can schedule a cleanup with us.   The problem of litter is not limited to certain areas it is every where so let's teach our children how important it is to not litter and adults it can be eye opener for you as well.  Contact us info@seaangels.org
  

•   We have expanded and now will be cleaning up the beach at the Beachway Drive location in Ocean Ridge.  It's a good way to end 2011 and start 2012.  Since there is limited parking so if you would like to come and help us clean up this area please contact us and we can make special arrangements for small groups.   Don't forget we give volunteer hours for students and comminity service.  To contact regarding cleaning Beachway e-mail us info@seaangels.org.
  

• A good way to upcycle litter is to make it an art project.  Plastic caps can be made into ornaments, plastic bottles into flowers and even a plan glass jar can be decorated and used for many things like a vase or to holding your paint brushes.  Check out some of our creative upcycled items for inspiration.  Send us a picture of something you upcycled and we'll post it on our Facebook page.  For inspiration click here.  E-mail your picture toartgallery@seaangels.org
  

•  We recycle do you?  The word "Green" is tossed out a lot but follow though is the key.  Picking up litter is great but what you do with it can make a whole different impact and step up one's game.  That's why we are the leaders in what we do because we make every effort to do our cleanups the right way.  These are some of the items we recycle. Batteries, mono-filament fishing line, plastic bottles, caps, cans, glass bottles, plastic utensils any another container that has the appropriate recycle seal on it.  Even the bags we use to transport our recyclables can be recycled.    click here for our recycling page. 

• If you clean the beach or any other area on your own post the picture to our facebook page.  We want to see what your are collecting.  By posting your picture you create more awareness of our litter epidemic. (click here to get to our facebook page)
  

  PHOTOS OF THE MONTH

    

Not exactly the big one that got away.  If you don't see this fish shape from litter found was actually a happy accident.  After spreading the usual haul of the usual suspects of litter this is what the camera lens caught.  Plastic cups, cigarette butts, bits of plastic, socks, rope and many other items that can be not only unattractive but harmful to our wildlife.

DID YOU KNOW??? It takes approximately 650 years for mono-filament fishing line to degrade.  Most of the fishing line is not bio-degradable and cannot be recycled in normal recycling bins. That is why the Sea Angels maintain and recycle all the fishing line from the 6 bins at Boynton Inlet. To find out more information regarding recycling and the hazards of discarded fishing line click here. (Sea Angels will recycle the fishing line you find during a cleanup)
