Just look at that face. 😍 Meet one of Hawaii’s most charming locals, the Hawaiian Monk Seal. 🦭 Today is Endangered Species Day, and we're spotlighting these critically endangered sea pups. With fewer than 1,100 left in the wild, they face numerous threats, notably from discarded fishing nets and plastic debris that pollute their natural habitats. Like many sea creatures. these seals often suffer from entanglement or ingest plastics, mistaking them for food. Unfortunately, eating plastics and getting caught in nets tends to be fatal. So, every piece of plastic you refuse helps reduce the risk to these adorable beach blobs.  Together, we can safeguard the Hawaiian Monk Seal (and other endangered marine life 🐠) by fighting plastic pollution and advocating for cleaner, safer oceans.

Do you know that dolphins, fish, sharks, turtles, seabirds and crabs are vulnerable to harm from plastic debris in the ocean? Additionally, animals also mistake small plastic debris for food or become entangled in or strangled by plastic bags and discarded fishing nets. This is why @keeptheoceancleaninitiative is investing heavily to educate maritime stakeholders and coastal communities on the dangers of marine pollution. Together we can save our ocean and marine lives..

🌍 Pick Up Your Own Trash: Small Actions, Big Impact🌍 In conjunction with World CleanUp Day 2024 (September 20), take a moment to reflect on the importance of personal responsibility when it comes to caring for our environment. Often, we wait for large-scale initiatives or complex systems to fix the problem, but the truth is that change starts with us—it starts with something as simple as picking up our own trash. We don’t need grand gestures to make a significant difference. By consciously ensuring our own waste is disposed of properly, we help: 🌱 Reduce pollution 🌱 Preserve natural resources 🌱 Conserve wildlife habitats 🌱 Create a culture of cleanliness and responsibility In my years in the automotive industry, we’ve always focused on reducing waste and improving processes. The same principles apply to our daily lives. Whether it's at the workplace, in the community, or even during a walk, let’s make it a habit to leave the environment better than we found it. On this World CleanUp Day, I encourage everyone to take action—pick up your own trash, and if you see litter around, take a moment to clean it up. Small actions, when multiplied by millions, create a global impact. Let’s be the change, starting today. 🌍♻️ #WorldCleanUpDay #Sustainability #EnvironmentalResponsibility #PickUpYourTrash #SmallActionsBigImpact

"Did you know? Over 40% of plastic trash is single-use, like grocery bags, drinking bottles, straws, and food wrappers. This leads to millions of animal deaths every year, from birds to fish and other aquatic life. Let's refuse to pollute the ocean with every meal, drink, or shopping trip. They don't have a choice, but we do. Make your choice a plastic-free one. Let's reduce, reuse, and clean up our act for a healthier planet!"

Loggerhead sea turtles are not just majestic creatures of the ocean; they're also skilled hunters! However, they face a unique challenge: distinguishing between jellyfish, their favorite prey, and plastic bags, a common marine debris. 🐢 🔍 This similarity poses a significant threat to their survival as they often mistake plastic bags for food, leading to ingestion and potential harm. As advocates for ocean conservation, it's our responsibility to raise awareness and take action to protect these incredible creatures. Let's work together to reduce plastic pollution and ensure a safer environment for marine life. 🌟 #OceanConservation #ProtectOurTurtles #SayNoToPlastic #ThinkOcean #Sustainability #CommunityImpact #BeatPlasticPollution #SaveOurOceans #PlasticPollution #OceanConservation #thinkocean #seapollution #plasticpollution #saveourseas #bethetideforchange #bethetide #sustainability

Say no to littering Littering may appear harmless at first, but that small act of flicking a candy wrapper or soda can can have a huge impact on our environment. Here's why we should think twice before tossing trash: 1. Wildlife Woes: Animals often mistake litter for food, which can lead to sickness or even death. Plastic bags resemble jellyfish, and tangled fishing lines can trap innocent creatures. Let's preserve the wildness of wildlife, not fill it with waste! 2. Water Woes: When rain washes trash into rivers and oceans, littered streets turn into polluted waterways. This plastic soup harms fish, birds, and ultimately ends up in the seafood we consume! Let's protect our aquatic ecosystems. 3. Unsightly Spaces: Litter tarnishes the beauty of our parks, beaches, and forests. It takes away from the natural splendor that we all cherish. Let's work together to keep our communities clean and green! Remember, every piece of trash we pick up is a victory for our planet. So let's break the littering habit and become recycling champions! Together, we can make a difference. #environment #recycle
