Kako čista sta naša obala in morje? Na videz zelo. V resnici sta vse bolj onesnažena s plastiko in mikroplastiko. To ugotavljajo tudi prostovoljci, udeleženci letošnje akcije Čista obala, ki vsako leto poteka v sklopu največje svetovne prostovoljne čistilne akcije obal, morij in jezer – International Coastal Cleanup. V Krajinskem parku Strujan pa so potapljači očistili del morskega dna v naravnem rezervatu. Vendar vseh odpadkov niso prinesli na kopno. Zakaj, lahko slišite v tokratni oddaji. Podrobneje namreč govorimo prav o okoljskem stanju našega morja in obale, pa tudi širšega Jadrana in Sredozemlja.
On a new Wild For Change podcast, we will be speaking about plastic pollution with three experts from Ocean Conservancy;Dr. Britta Baechler, Senior Manager, Oceans Plastics Research will be discussing the overall problem with plastics, how microplastics form and why they are problematic.Robyn Albritton, Senior Manager, International Coastal Cleanup, will be discussing plastics in the environment and ways Ocean Conservancy is working to clean them up.Dr. Anja Brandon, U.S. Plastics Policy Analyst, will look at plastic from a policy lens and show us ways we can tackle the plastic pollution problem in our daily lives.Plastic does so much for us as it is found in airbags, helmets, keeps our food safe and fresh, and helps lighten loads for transportation, reducing carbon emissions and saving fuel. But there is a downside to plastic. We use a lot of it and it's difficult to recycle. Globally, we produce about 400 million tons of plastic each year and only 10-13% of it gets recycled worldwide. The environmental lifetimes of common products such as plastic bags, Styrofoam cups and other single-use items remain largely unknown. What we do know is that plastics never actually go away- they break up into smaller and smaller pieces but persist in the environment indefinitely. Approximately 11 million metric tons of plastic ends up in our oceans each year. Since plastic is ending up in our waters, marine life is ingesting it. Plastic has been found in 60% of sea birds and 100% of sea turtles studied because they mistake plastics for food. We now know that nearly 1,300 marine species ingest plastics, and that number continues to climb as scientists pursue new research avenues. In this podcast, we will learn;What microplastics are and why they are so pervasive in our environment and harming wildlifeWhat is a global microplastic cycleHow these pollutants impact human healthLearn how to help with International Coastal CleanupsWhat the Clean Swell App is and how we can use it to help with plastic pollutionAbout federal policies like the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act and Save Our Seas (S.O.S.) 2.0 Act to help reduce plastic pollutionWhat Extended Producer Responsibility isWhat Bottle Bills are and how they help with increasing rates of recycling plasticWhat we can do to reduce plastic consumption in our daily livesTo learn more of Ocean Conservancy's work click here.

In 2017, 20-million pounds of litter was collected around the world on International Coastal Cleanup day. Do beach clean ups actually work? And if not, why do we even do beach cleanups? Are we just wasting our time? Should we be doing something else? This is a podcast about how NOT to save the environment.

Bring your friends and family to the island's beaches on Sunday, September 9, and help keep our beaches clean and free of materials that can both damage wildlife and adversely affect our own food chain. The annual beach cleanup is not just happening on Bainbridge; volunteers from states across the U.S. and more than 100 countries come together each year as part of the International Coastal Cleanup. In this podcast Sustainable Bainbridge president Christine Perkins talks with Deb Rudnick, an environmental scientist and chair of the Bainbridge Island Watershed Council, about the many local, national, and international organizations involved in the cleanup, and what we as concerned citizens can do -- not just on Beach Cleanup Day, but every day -- to improve the health and beauty of our environment. Beach cleanup volunteers are encouraged to register in advance of the Sunday event at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0944a8ab2aa75-2018. The main effort is focused from 10am to 2pm on Sunday, September 9th, but your help is appreciated anytime. More information can be found at the Sustainable Bainbridge web page for the event. There's also a Facebook page. Credits: BCB host, Christina Hulet; audio editor and publisher, Diane Walker; social media Jen St. Louis.

In this podcast, Deb Rudnick, an environmental scientist and chair of the Bainbridge Island Watershed Council, describes the upcoming Bainbridge Island Beach Cleanup on Saturday September 9th. All members of our community – individuals, families, groups, and people of all-ages – are invited to participate in this one-day cleanup to maintain our shorelines and ensure the health of our wildlife. Bainbridge held its first successful beach cleanup last year as part of a broader movement to protect our oceans worldwide. Deb shares with us that some marine creatures have died from ingesting large amounts of small plastic debris and waste. There's been a huge response by concerned citizens, as over half a million people from 112 countries removed more than 18 million pounds of trash during the 2016 International Coastal Cleanup. Bainbridge is continuing to be part of this broader movement this year under the leadership of Sustainable Bainbridge and its various partners: BI Watershed Council Bainbridge Beach Naturalists Zero Waste Bainbridge BI Land Trust Islandwood BI Parks and Recreation District Bainbridge Parks Foundation City of Bainbridge Island COBI Road Ends Committee Bainbridge Island Harbormaster This is an excellent opportunity for families and engaged citizens to do our part as well. Volunteers are encouraged to register in advance of the Saturday event at: http://www.sustainablebainbridge.org/bainbridge-beach-cleanup.aspx. Advance registration allows you to choose which beach you'd like to work on. The main effort is focused from 12pm to 3pm on Saturday, September 9th, but your help is appreciated even if for only part of that time.

In this 13-minute podcast, Deb Rudnick -- an environmental scientist and the longtime chair of the Bainbridge Island Watershed Council -- describes the upcoming Bainbridge Island Beach Cleanup, on Saturday September 17th. On that day, volunteers around the country will be making a difference on their local shorelines, working for both natural beauty and the health of shore birds and marine creatures. Deb explains that this first-of-a-kind cleanup day for the island's 56 miles of shoreline is being made possible by a wide range of local organizations: Sustainable Bainbridge, and component groups: BI Watershed Council Bainbridge Beach Naturalists Zero Waste Bainbridge BI Land Trust Islandwood BI Parks and Recreation District Bainbridge Parks Foundation City of Bainbridge Island Bainbridge Island Harbormaster Some marine creatures have died from ingesting large amounts of small plastic debris and waste. There's been a huge response by concerned citizens, as nearly 800,000 volunteers removed more than 18 million pounds of trash during the 2015 International Coastal Cleanup one year ago. Volunteers are encouraged to register in advance of the Saturday event by emailing Sustainable Bainbridge. Advance registration allows you to express an interest in the preferred stretch of beach where you'd like to help, and it will result in your obtaining advice and support in your efforts. Deb explains that you're welcome whether you're an individual, family or group. It's an all-ages event, so long as you're safely able to get down to the beach of your choice. Children should be under the supervision of an adult. The main effort is focused from 10am to 2pm that Saturday, but your help is appreciated even if for only part of that time. Further information can be found at the Sustainable Bainbridge web page for the event. There's also a Facebook page. Credits: BCB host, audio editor and social media publisher: Barry Peters.
