My Pledges

So last week i was writing about one ocean a documentary series i've been watching for the past couple of weeks. And I also wrote about there website and the pledges that they have. This post will list some of the pledges I plan on taking this year and hopefully carry on for years to come!

My Pledges :

• Buy locally and purchase organic.
• Celebrate World Oceans Day and Rivers to Ocean Week. (June 8-14)
• Demand more marine protected areas
• Dispose of garbage properly, on land or water.
• Dispose of household hazardous wastes properly. (Dispose of household hazardous wastes at proper waste disposal sites rather than dumping them down the drain or in the garbage.)
• Learn about the source of meat products.
• Learn how to identify local ocean species.
• Learn more about northern marine ecosystems.
• Only buy vintage or fake coral jewellery.
• Plant as many trees as possible.
• Practice and promote recycling.
• Reduce personal carbon emissions.
• Watch an ocean documentary!

There are many more pledges to take and vary in difficulty and involvement level so everyone can find some way to help our environment. I hope to take some more pledges but at the moment i'm working on these and will hopefully take on some more later in the year.
