CREATE A CLEANUP
Create a virtual cleanup in your neighborhood, park, or beach.
The oceans need us now more than ever and now you can create your very own virtual clean-up! Gather your friends and family together, but social distance, and get to work cleaning up your neighborhood, park, beach or any place you see that needs some extra attention and most important the location is safe for you to clean.
