A Goodbye & a Heartfelt Thanks
May 31, 2024As We Plan for Annual Coastal Cleanup Day
July 24, 2024Hi, friends of Save Our Shores! We have a quick favor to ask of you. We have signed on to ban the sale of the single-use cigarette filter in Santa Cruz County. Will you also sign our letter of support?
Why do we care? Because, firstly, cigarette butts are one of the most common plastic waste items found on our beaches and in our watersheds (second only to small plastics…which is basically every other type of plastic on the planet broken down into tiny form).
Yep. They’re everywhere. And they’re toxic waste that leach chemicals such as lead, arsenic, and nicotine into the environment, where they can poison small children, pets, wildlife, and marine life.
This is exactly what Save Our Shores is here to do: make sea change, one piece of legislation at a time!
If you’d like to sign onto the Save Our Shores’ collective voice, you can do so by taking this survey. It will only take 30-60 seconds of your time and will do Santa Cruz County and the Monterey Bay enormous wonders!
If you’d prefer to submit your own letter of support for the legislation, you can do so by copying and pasting this letter, and further personalizing it! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, YOU CAN HELP MAKE CHANGE!
