How lovely is the weather? It has been extremely hot this weekend on the Gold Coast. Make sure everyone is hydrated! There are water bubblers at the beaches and parks where you can refill your bottles. Check out the attached link of a recent study which divulges some astonishing new facts regarding the plight of our oceans. Although Clean Up Australia Day is behind us, we can still work towards a unified goal of reducing plastics on the Gold Coast and in our waterways by picking up rubbish when possible. Please consider posting, or reposting, this petition on social media or raise awareness amongst the community and friendship circles through conversation. Follow @take3cleanbeach on Instagram or Facebook for regular updates. Again, thank you to those making a difference.
