 Solutions – What can we do to make a difference?

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

1.We can save water and not waste our water.

2.We can help keep our water clean in our streams, ponds, rivers, lakes and oceans.

3.Recycle plastic, cans and paper.

4.Keep plastic out of our streams, ponds, rivers, lakes and oceans. Plastic does not disappear like a piece of paper does after awhile. Plastic hurts our fish.

5.Reduce our “Carbon Footprint”

6.Only eat fish which are not endangered

7.Help keep our air clean

8.Be an ocean friendly pet owner

Children Around The World Are Becoming Ocean Heroes, Teachers communicate on our Linked In page "Teaching World Oceans Day". 

AUSTRALIA

During a telephone call the Marine Science Centre asked "May we take the Ocean Hero Program into every school and utilize the Ocean Hero character and Ocean Hero Certificates?". Of course World Oceans Day Education said YES. 

Then in a follow up email we received the following; 

"We organized a number of World Oceans Day activities at schools in Victoria (Australia) a few weeks ago and students developed artwork from plastics that we collected on the beach (in line with the New Year’s Resolution: Less Disposable Plastic). We are putting together a display of the artwork at the Australian Marine Sciences Association conference in Geelong next week"
