We love getting outside just because nature\u2019s awesome, but getting outside AND helping animals is a win win. For today\u2019s eco-activity, we want you to join our team of Shoreline Savers and help clean-up a shoreline near you! Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Did you know that Canada has nearly 20% of the world\u2019s fresh surface water? The Great Lakes, home to many unique ecosystems and species, are really important in Ontario and beyond. They provide us with drinking water, quality of life, and prosperity, which is why we need to do what we can to keep them healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– You might be thinking this activity isn\u2019t for you if you don\u2019t live near a river or lake, but fear not! Streams, creeks, ponds, and wetlands often connect and flow into bigger bodies of water, which means it\u2019s just as important to keep these smaller \u201cshorelines\u201d clean too<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Litter can mean big trouble for the animals we love \u2013 they can get caught in things like old rope or fishing lines, mistake garbage for food, or even lose their habitats as they become filled with trash<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know all about the trouble with trash, it\u2019s time to pick your favourite shoreline and get started! Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
