With an estimated 8 million tons of plastic dumped into the ocean very year marine debris is a growing issue, and if we continue on our current path we are projected to have more plastic than fish in the ocean by the year 2050 😟😳 come help us #SaveTheOcean and reduce plastic along our coastline by attending our @oneoceanconservation cleanup this Saturday from 9:00-12:00 at Kokololio beach park. If you’re not on Oahu consider organizing a cleanup of your own or continue reading below to support legislation that will help reduce and phase out a variety of easily avoidable single use plastics in Hawaii! #PlasticIsTheRealKiller #Repost @nataliekparra ・・・ If you have seen some of the massive amounts of marine debris accumulating on Hawaii's shorlines (and all around the world) and want to do something about it, please take a moment to submit testimony in support of a few bills trying to fight marine debris in Hawaii right now! We've compiled a little page of the status of each bill and how you can voice your support for each of them at keikoconservation.com/FightMarineDebris! It'll only take a few minutes and will directly affect the outcome of these bills at their hearings on Wednesday. *You don’t have to be a Hawaii resident to do so!* THANK YOU :)!

I made it to Oahu and was excited to explore the white sand beaches I heard so much about. I stepped onto the sand and looked down at the ground and saw miles of small tiny plastics poking out; no exaggeration. I couldn’t even find a place to sit that wasn’t covered in micro plastics. 🌊🌊🌊 I am sad. I feel for these oceans and hear their call for help. I spoke to some surfers who said, this was a “good” day compared to what is normally covering this beach. Beach clean-ups are amazing but all of us can help too by choosing reusables. 🌊🌊🌊 Say no to plastic when you are out eating. Bring your reusables with you. Don’t have any? Message me I’d love to help you! • • • • • • #beachcleanup #plasticistherealkiller #5minutebeachcleanup #sustainablestyle #zerowasteliving #takethreeforthesea #microplastics #saveourseas #sustainablyaimee #instagramvsreality #plasticfreehawaii #plasticfreeliving #ecofriendlytips #plasticfreetips #ecowarrior #earthlove #setanexample #beachystyle #raiseawareness #kokuahawaiifoundation #breakfreefromplastic #hawaiibeach (at Kailua Beach - Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtM8V3ShvNw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hh81bol6ngqi

Mahalo nui loa to everyone that came out yesterday to help #SAVETHEOCEAN by participating in our monthly beach cleanup! We’re so grateful to the participants and our amazing team of volunteers who donated their time and prevented countless forms of marine life from being harmed from the huge pile of plastic, fishing gear, and debris collected. Stay tuned to @oneoceanconservation and oneoceanconservation.org for details on next months cleanup! #PlasticIsTheRealKiller #Repost @oneoceanconservation ・・・ We’re continuously inspired by everyone who joins us for our cleanups! ❤️ Huge mahalo to everyone who stopped by to remove debris today! We wish we had taken “Before and After” pictures of the beach, because WOW we all made a difference! Whether you were returning volunteers, new volunteers, or visitors, all of us at @oneoceanconservation are so immensely appreciative of your help! We hope to see you again next month! Aloha! 💙 (also please tag us in any photos you post from today! We’d love to see!) @oneoceandiving @keiko_conservation @waterinspired #savetheocean #savetheplanet #beach #cleanup #plastic #plasticpollution #plastickills #plasticfree #reduce #nobluenogreen #gogreen #hawaii #oahu #oceanconservation https://www.instagram.com/p/BqD-jOYh8Bp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i6mxb3x9lqdw

#Repost from @oneoceanglobal ambassador @plasticfreemermaid in honor of world cleanup day! Please check her out for awesome tips, suggestions and creative ways to reduce your plastic consumption. If you missed it yesterday consider having a mini cleanup of your own, or join us at @oneoceanconservation for one of our monthly reef and beach cleanups on Oahu! #PlasticIsTheRealKiller ・・・ Yesterday was #worldcleanupday 💙 A day dedicated to cleaning the Earth, with a focus on beaches. . Imagine if we all were more connected to Earth. If each & every day we saw trash on the ground & just picked it up, no matter where we were or what we were doing or who we were with. If we all cultivated some of this conscious awareness of keeping our home clean, perhaps we would start to pollute less as well. A connection made between inputs & outputs. Especially sensitive when we start thinking of ourselves as the clean up solution, we become a bit more attached to the waste we create. . I am proud to be an ambassador for @take3forthesea 💙 where every day is World Clean Up day, because every day we unavoidably live in this world, and every day we have the choice to contribute to a clean or polluted planet. . If you didn’t make it out to clean a beach yesterday, there is still today! Or the next day! Or the next. Organise a clean with your pals, co-workers, yogi tribe, or put up a poster in your health food shop to recruit helping hands. Use the app @litterati to contribute the specifics of your clean up to a global database that will pressure the top polluting corporations to clean up their act. . Beach cleans are a great starting point for the waste awareness journey. Picking up someone else’s trash is humbling. It also never fails to amaze people how much trash is left at the beaches of paradise. 💙💙💙💙💙 #bethechange https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzlSIcB82S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18xicnw3x3pl9

Mahalo for the shout out and spreading shark awareness. The ability to show people the true nature of sharks and turn their #fearintofascination is one of the most rewarding parts of our work🦈💙 #Repost @jermau ・・・ Fun fact: Around 70% of the world's oxygen supply is attributed to coral reefs and other marine plant life. And while sharks aren't directly contributing to O2 production they are keeping the oceans and reefs in balance which in turn allows the algae to do their algae thing. Sharks are doing their part and you can do yours! Plastics and sunscreen are a huge problem in our oceans right now. You can help by not using single use plastics or sunscreen with oxybenzone. Shout out to @oneoceandiving for an amazing experience! #oahu #northshore #saveoursharks #plasticistherealkiller #saynotosharkfinsoup #underwaterphotography

It’s almost time for our documentary @savingjawsmovie to be released but until then we want to start a #SavingJawsChallenge! Everyday we challenge you to eliminate something from your everyday use.  Today we are going to start with straws. Its no secret that single use plastic such as straws is having a negative effect on our environment and specifically marine species. Plastic straws are ingested daily by marine animals and are one of the top ten items of plastic debris found on beach clean ups. We want you to #SayNoToTheStraw and #StopSucking as continued plastic use such as plastic straws has detrimental affects to marine life and ultimately the ecosystems organisms support, including mankind. Over 500 million straws are used daily in the US and we want to help eliminate single use plastic as a convenience. You can help by buying stainless steal straws, bamboo straws, paper straws or say no to straws all together. #PlasticIsTheRealKiller #PlasticPollution #OceanConservation #SaveTheOcean #RefuseTheStraw
