Check out this mural in Deception Pass State Park! It was made by students at Hillcrest Elementary School in Oak Harbor, WA made of plastic lids that couldn’t be recycled. ⠀⠀ #talesofsavingwhales #whaletales #beplasticwise #savetheocean #marinelife #storytelling #marinedebris #pickitup #whaletrash #savethewhales #beatplasticpollution #stopsingleuse #reduceyourplastic #waste #plasticlids #igotopless https://www.instagram.com/p/CTvBsKcLwhH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Have you checked out our blog series #talesofsavingwhales? We try to focus on personal stories about what you do to help whales (and marine life) emphasizing on how every small action can help. We have asked people for their stories which you can read all of on our website and contribute to if you're interested! @jennacostadeedy is a 30 year old marine educator at the New England Aquarium who is also a writer, influencer and self proclaimed nerd. To read her (and others!) post, head to our website (link in bio). ⁠⠀ #whaletales #blog #savethewhales #whales #whalestory #rightwhale #savetheocean #marinelife #storytelling #educations #beplasticwise #whaleblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CT5YyKnBy1k/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today is #InternationalPlasticBagFreeDay! Did you know it can take up to 500 years for a plastic bag to disintegrate? Bring your own and take a step towards reducing plastic marine debris.⠀ #whaletales #talesofsavingwhales #beatplasticpollution #stopsingleuse #savetheocean #beplasticwise #refusethebag https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ3wpF0r95N/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today is ‪#endangeredspeciesday ‬‬! Take a moment to think about what the world would be like without one of the endangered species around you, (what would the ocean be like without the orcas?!) and what you can do to help them-whether it be reduce your carbon footprint by reducing your single plastic use, changing shampoos to something microbead free or just ensuring that our waste is disposed of safely.⠀⁠ PC: @peppermintnarwhal⁠ #talesofsavingwhales #whaletales #savethewhales #endangered #microbeads #beplasticwise #beatplasticpollution #stopsingleuse https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJFrY3npAj/?utm_medium=tumblr

A powerful image. While it is more difficult during the pandemic to stick to reusable items you can still work to dispose of your plastic safely.⠀ #talesofsavingwhales #whaletales #savethewhales #beatplasticpollution #beplasticwise #stopsucking #stopsingleuse #plasticfree⁣ ⠀ #Repost: @plastic_bank⁣ Did you know nearly two million single-use plastic bags are distributed worldwide every minute? https://www.instagram.com/p/CHWCdz5HqZY/?igshid=7jaocxfc5ke3
