2008-Open Ocean plastics riddle Florida beaches

Open Ocean pollution lands on Florida’s Beaches in 2008

Plastics in Seaweed

 

 

During much of September and October 2008 large mats of open ocean drift seaweed has washed up on Central and South Florida beaches. Only this time the seaweed is riddled with plastics.

Bottle caps, bottles, buckets, styrofoam, lighters, cups, toys, string, and plastic bags.

On a recent visit to the Ft. Pierce Inlet, EarthRehab member Kristy Polackwich picked through the seaweed mats and filled a bucket & a large trash bag in less than an hour.

“Where is this stuff coming from?” Kristy asked. “The Open Ocean, unfortunately” replied William Djubin, Founder of EarthRehab.

“Has it really gotten this bad?” asked Kristy. “Just one day after our last beach cleanup I walked Kite Beach and Coral Cove Park and could not believe the amount of plastics in the sea weed, I am just not sure what to do at this point.” Exclaimed William 

EarthRehab will organize a beach cleanups specific to seaweed plastics.

 

For more details about these cleanups contact William or Kristy at EarthRehab.com

Stop Global Warming

Stop Global Warming

Greenpeace event at Carlin Park, Jupiter Florida
Lauren Thorpe is really trying hard to motivate Floridians towards Alternative Energy in Florida.
While her campaign is political specific, she addresses the larger need to fix our Energy crisis with Green Energy sources.
EarthRehab will be at this Greenpeace event, and assist with their aerial art project, it should be fun.
-if your going to the beach anyway, stop by for this large format photo shoot.
Message from the flyer and Lauren Thorpe.

“With just a few weeks until the 2008 elections, we must send a clear message that this November 4th, we will be voting for candidates who will fight for real solutions to global warming like clean, renewable energy.  Join hundreds of other climate activists and participate in a powerful aerial art message to the candidates for Congress Tim Mahoney and Tom Rooney– and voters everywhere – we want CLEAN ENERGY NOW!!”
