Planning a weekend beach trip or walk by the water? A great rule of thumb for coastal sustainability is the "Take 3" rule: every time you visit the water, leave with three pieces of trash that aren't yours. Stopping just three small pieces of trash keeps our shorelines beautiful.

Single-use plastic bottles break down into microplastics that marine life mistakes for food. Glass is 100% natural, infinitely recyclable, and never degrades or leaches chemicals into our waterways. Switching to a reusable glass bottle keeps hundreds of plastic caps and containers out of our seas.
