Clean Beaches Week, Earth Day for beaches, recognizes and embraces the importance of clean beaches. Beaches can be gorgeous and fun if they are well taken care of! Scientists estimate that approximately 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in our oceans and on our beaches each year whether the waste is from plastic bottles and straws or from errant plastic bags. It’s important we all do our part to make sure they stay clean for generations to come. Leave no trace (wh...at you carry in, carry out) La Semana de Playas Limpias, es como el Día de la Tierra para las playas, reconoce y acepta la importancia de una playa limpia. ¡Las playas pueden ser preciosas e ir a una de ellas puede ser divertido siempre y cuando estén bien cuidadas!

It's Unity Day! Make it ORANGE and make BULLYING end! What are your true colors when it comes to showing that you believe that all youth should be safe from bullying? Come together in one giant ORANGE message of hope and support, WEAR AND SHARE ORANGE to color our nation, and even the world, visibly showing that our society believes that no child should ever experience bullying. ORANGE provides a powerful, visually compelling expression of solidarity, said Paula Goldberg, E...xecutive Director of PACER Center. Whether it’s hundreds of individuals wearing ORANGE, store owners offering ORANGE products, or a community changing a landmark to ORANGE, the vibrant statement becomes a conversation starter, sending the supportive, universal message that bullying is never acceptable behavior. https://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/unity-day.asp #WeAreSCCOE #BullyingPrevention #UnityDay
