WHAT: Help keep Narragansett Bay clean! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are a great way for volunteers to make a difference. At this Earth Week cleanup, we are encouraging all participants to Take the Pledge to Keep Rhody Litter Free!
UPDATE: At this Earth Day clean up, we will also offer an opportunity to help us try out our new Plastic Brand Auditing with TrashBlitz! This protocol's goal is to hold brands accountable for plastic pollution. We will have a small group using the TrashBlitz app to sort and input brand data. If you are interested in helping with this protocol, download the TrashBlitz app or try the web-based app.
At the beginning of the cleanup, we will give a short intro walking through the app for those unfamiliar.
