With 10 beach cleanups until I reach 365, I am also listing 10 ways to help the ocean.

#10 - TAKE IT OFF THE SAND AND THEN TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR LIFE

I used to like drinking from straws, but I've found thousands on the beach in the last three and a half years. When I go to a restaurant I ask (most of the time) to hold the straw. We don't use them at home either. I've taken straws off the sand and now out of my own life.

Could you do that with plastic bottled water, candy, chip bags, plastic bags, cigarettes, or straws?

To support his beach cleanup habit, and well researched and written blog THE FLOTSAM DIARIES, my friend Harry has started making non-toxic play dough in six colors. It is stain resistant, made from natural ingredients and homemade in Saco, Maine. 

Supporting Harry means supporting clean oceans. Check it out!
