Standing on the shore of Lake Ontario during a community cleanup last year, I was alarmed by the overwhelming amount of single-use plastics we found. This eye-opening experience convinced me that occasional cleanups weren't enough. It demanded a fundamental shift in how we think about, use, and dispose of plastic in our daily lives
Water sources and wetlands, and terrestrial and aquatic species, can be negatively impacted by plastic pollution. Communication, policy initiatives, and access to information will increase the likelihood of meaningful change.
Before becoming a Blue Carbon Ambassador, I was an entirely different person. I had no familiarity with the Blue Carbon term or description. While establishing experience in the fish tank hobby and caring for aquatic life, I often overlooked the marine ecosystems in my community. However, when I considered a specific water source in my area where freshwater organisms were being affected by climate change and pollution, the reality and results of both issues overwhelmed me.
