Trash on beaches is a serious problem that can affect the health of people, wildlife and local economies. Last year, more than 18 million pounds of trash was collected by nearly 800,000 volunteers during the 2015 International Coastal Cleanup.
Celebrate the 2016 International Coastal Clean Day with ECO Canada and remove trash from the one of Canada’s most treasured beaches.
Share the most shocking thing you’ve found on the beach on Twitter using the hashtag #CoastalCleanupConfessions
