Global Recycling Day: Take Action for a Cleaner South Carolina
Tuesday, Mar 18, 2025
Every year on Global Recycling Day, we’re reminded of the power each of us has to make a difference for our planet. Whether it’s choosing to recycle a plastic bottle, repurposing an old item, or supporting brands that prioritize sustainability, every action adds up to create a cleaner, greener future.
Why Recycling Matters
When plastic ends up in our oceans, marine life suffers. From sea turtles mistaking plastic bags for jellyfish to seabirds ingesting microplastics, the consequences are devastating. But the good news is that we have the power to change this narrative. By refusing, reducing, reusing, and recycling, we can help keep our waters pristine and protect the creatures that call them home.
