Second Annual Great Lake Erie Boat Float- Ohio, USA

The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo teen volunteers along with many other local groups in Cleveland, Ohio took part in the Second Annual Great Lake Erie Boat Float on September 11, 2010. The groups made boats out of post-consumer plastic recyclable materials that they found floating on Lake Erie to help raise awareness about the impact that plastic has on the environment.  But you don’t need to go out in the ocean to see the effect that plastic has on the environment just travel down to your local beach and you will be sure to see a whole out of “trash”.
 



However there are many ways to help….
-use reusable bags!
-Recycle !
-Pick up your trash after visiting the beach
-participate in a local beach clean up
-spread the word!!!!
