World Coast Journey for the Preservation of the Seas
This document outlines a project called the World Coast Journey that aims to raise awareness about trash and plastic pollution in oceans. The project involves traveling along coastlines worldwide using non-polluting transportation to give presentations in schools. The journey is split into 8 parts along different coasts, with the first stage having been completed along the Mediterranean coast by bicycle. Future stages will involve traveling from Brazil to the Caribbean by pedal boat, and other regions by various means of transport, educating people along the way. The goal is to inform communities and future generations about the threats of plastic waste in oceans and what will be left for children if no action is taken.

13th birthday of sasrai movement
The document summarizes the 13th birthday and activities of the sasrai-Movement, which has been working since 2004 to promote sustainable consumption and conservation. It lists 15 school presentations the movement gave in March and April 2016 about topics like climate change, forests, water, and health. It also provides 19 facts about threats to the planet like declining wildlife populations and the growing global water crisis. It argues that rapid depletion of resources poses the biggest threat and that movements like sasrai are key to achieving sustainable development goals regardless of climate impacts.
The Dangers of Plastic Bags
The document summarizes the dangers of plastic bag usage and disposal. Over 500 billion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year, with less than 1% being recycled as it is more expensive to recycle bags than produce new ones. As a result, most plastic bags end up polluting lands and oceans, harming over 200 sea species who often mistake the bags for food. Several countries and cities have implemented bans on plastic bags to reduce their environmental impact and decrease foreign oil dependency.
Caribbean Conservation
Nourish International invites students to be part of solving global poverty by running ventures to earn money for community development projects. Students then travel abroad over the summer to partner with local communities to implement solutions, such as building an orphanage in Bolivia last year.
The importance of coral reef conservation is growing as reef habitats decrease. Coral reefs in the Caribbean are home to diverse species and provide coastline protection and economic opportunities from tourism and fishing, sustaining communities. However, threats from pollution, human activity, and natural disasters risk these ecosystems. Conservation efforts aim to raise awareness and prevent damaging effects.
The facts about plastic bags
Between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year, with less than 1% being recycled. It costs more to recycle a bag than to produce a new one. Plastic bags end up polluting oceans and landscapes, harming wildlife that ingest them. Over 200 species are known to die from plastic bag ingestion or entanglement. Banning plastic bags, using reusable bags, and implementing bag taxes or fees have helped reduce plastic bag consumption in many countries around the world.

It includes international commemorative days related to topics like wetlands, water, earth hour, biodiversity, as well as regional and national activities such as environmental youth camps, photography contests, and stakeholder meetings that will take place across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The calendar highlights FPE's plans to conduct educational outreach and celebrate important environmental dates from January through December.
The Dangers Of Plastic Bags
Hundreds of billions of plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year, with less than 1% being recycled. Plastic bags have severe environmental impacts, as they are often littered and end up polluting oceans, waterways, and landscapes. Once in the environment, plastic bags break down into microplastics that enter the food chain and are mistaken as food by many sea animals, causing harm and even death. Many countries and cities have implemented restrictions or bans on plastic bags to reduce their use and environmental effects.

Drawing in a global community through a series of in-person and virtual events and campaigns, the annual United Nations celebration has created an inclusive and dynamic platform, ignited a groundswell of awareness, and through multi stakeholder engagement, has yielded impactful action for the ocean and our blue planet.
This World Oceans Day the theme is Planet Ocean: Tides are Changing. In celebration of the day, OceanX and Oceanic Global are teaming up on the #OceanFirst campaign to underscore 2023 theme’s call to action “Time to Put the Ocean First.”
