Can the Trash! Clean Beach Campaign

Can the Trash Clean Beach poster contest

Because ocean pollution begins at home.

Living in Los Angeles County, we share a special connection to the ocean. When it comes to the beach, we’re practically neighbors! We get to enjoy public beaches where we can swim, play and have fun. It also means that no matter how far away we live from the coast, our pollution ends up on our beaches and in the ocean. Here’s what everyone can do to help keep our beaches and ocean clean:

  • Watch the video below “Clean and Blue” to learn about what causes ocean pollution and how you can help stop it. Make sure to also check out the Ocean Heroes Activity Guide for fun things to do on your own or with friends.
  • Take action! The beaches belong to everybody, so it is everyone’s responsibility to protect them from pollution. Share what you’ve learned by drawing a picture with a message about how to keep our beaches and ocean pollution free. Be creative!
  • Always do your part to keep our oceans and beaches clean! Properly dispose of your trash and other items that cause ocean pollution.
