SUMMARY:International Plastic Pellet Count Day - Volunteers Needed!
DESCRIPTION:Most plastic is made from plastic pellets — tiny beads of plastic that can spill into the environment and pollute our waterways. \nAn estimated 10 trillion plastic pellets enter the ocean every year. Wildlife can mistake plastic pellets for food and eat them.1 \nEnvironment America Research & Policy Center is helping organize the second-annual International Plastic Pellet Count on Saturday\, May 2 to search for plastic pellet pollution in our environment. Will you volunteer for the International Plastic Pellet Count on May 2 in your community? \nWe’re looking for volunteers across America to complete their own plastic pellet counts and clean-up events. All you need to do to join the International Plastic Pellet Count is visit your local waterway\, look for plastic pellet pollution\, and record what you find. \nYour plastic pellet count can take as little as 10 minutes. Spending a few minutes helping find and count plastic pellets at your local stream\, river\, lake\, wetland or ocean beach is a great way to take personal action to help put wildlife over waste. And it’s even more fun if you invite your friends and family to join you. \nSign up for the International Plastic Pellet Count on Saturday\, May 2.
