Plastic pollution is a grave threat facing our oceans and marine life today. In Manchester By The Sea, Massachusetts, our beautiful beaches are not only vital ecosystems but cherished communal spaces. Unfortunately, they are increasingly at risk due to plastic littering. Reports of marine animal deaths and environmental degradation are rising, directly linked to the plastics cluttering our shores and waters.

To combat this growing issue, we propose an actionable and impactful solution: installing clear, engaging signage at beach entrances and increasing the number of available trash cans, particularly ones that remain accessible overnight. By placing signs that educate and remind visitors about the importance of disposing of their waste responsibly, we can cultivate a culture of environmental stewardship.

Moreover, providing durable, strategically-placed trash cans that can be accessed during evening hours, especially after beach parties, will ensure that litter does not accumulate and harm our local environment.

This strategy will not only reduce pollution but also preserve the beauty and health of our coastlines, fostering safer habitats for marine life. Cleaner beaches mean healthier oceans and thriving communities, benefiting both the local wildlife and our residents and visitors.

Your support is crucial in making this vision a reality. Sign this petition to urge local authorities and environmental agencies in Manchester By The Sea to take these crucial steps.
