One of our missions with O.N.E. is to rid the ocean of plastic. The reason plastic is so bad is because when people throw it away, it goes into landfills and eventually blows into the ocean. The plastic won’t decompose for thousands of years, so there is a very likely chance that a sea creature could eat this, and eventually die. If the creature has not already died and a fisherman comes and takes the fish out of water to be put in a restaurant, you could be eating the plastic that the fish ate. There is a projection that says if we keep going at this rate, by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. We need to stop that. As an athlete, I’m scared that soon, neither people nor creatures will be able to swim in the ocean. Do your part by picking up just O.N.E. piece of plastic at the beach. Every little bit counts. Beach clean-ups are just one of the many projects we have initiated to help safeguard our oceans.

Remember…Ocean Needs Everyone!
