World Oceans Day
Happy World Oceans Day!
World
Oceans
Day is
a
global
day
of
ocean
celebration
and
collaboration
for
a
better
future.
Why
do
we
celebrate
it?
Our
oceans
are
critical
to
our
survival,
for
they
generate
most
of
the
oxygen
that
we
breathe,
help
feed
us,
regulate
our
climate,
clean
the
water
we
drink
and
provide
us
with
important
medicines
while
it
is
also
home
to
an
incredible
array
of
wildlife.
This
year’s
theme;
“Healthy
Oceans,
Healthy
Planet.”
In
order
to
ensure
the
health
and
safety
of
our
communities
and
future
generations,
we
must
first
take
care
of
the
ocean
as
it
cares
for
us.
It is easy to participate in World’s Ocean Day today, and every day! First, take the time to learn and discover the wealth of diverse and beautiful ocean creatures and habitats and how our daily actions affect them. We need to change our ways in how we take care of the environment. When doing something as simple as taking care of your own yard and community, you are acting as a care taker to our oceans. Making small changes to your everyday habits will make a difference! Finally, change your perspective. Encourage your family, your friends and your community to think about what the oceans mean to us and our future, as well as what everyone can do to help conserve the ocean for generations to come. Whether you live inland or on the coast, we all affect the ocean and now is the time to do something about it!
So what can you do?
Some members here at Euclid Fish are joining others around the world in the #WaveForChange campaign to help keep plastic trash out of our oceans and lakes. Our pledge is to stop using disposable plastic bags and bottles and instead use reusable bags and water containers to help better our ocean.
We have taken the pledge, now it’s your turn! Sign your commitment by recording yourself doing the wave and saying what you will do to help the cause! World Oceans Day also offers other great ideas including their Better Bag Challenge and Selfie for the Sea campaign for additional ways to get involved!
