On my Dolphin Cruise today, I highlighted how we can help protect dolphins and the local Tampa Bay Area by reducing our use of single use plastics and trying to limit the amount of trash that enters the local waterways.

At work yesterday Me and another co-worker did an activity with guests that involved them guessing how long it takes for certain trash items to break down once they were in the environment. There eyes really lit up when they learned how long a disposable diaper hangs around! Then we discussed recycling, and how we can reuse objects.

  This game has such a great message behind it! People are always amazed by how long these incredibly common/frequently used items stick around. With the diaper specifically, I love the shocked reaction I get when I tell them that every single diaper that has ever been produced is still out there in the environment!

  I think games are so good for adult or child, I have been reading some articles also that explain how long things last before dissolved or recycled. Keep up the good work.

I am doing better, I think! I have been trying to remind myself to bring reusable bags when shopping and if I do get plastic ones, I try to properly recycle them.

  I agree, bringing your own bags is good for the environment, why two? I know it's best to bring your own and save. The second is it's reusable.
