Susie picked up a whole bucket of trash before I even got to the beach and drove about an hour north to come help out! 


Susie just completed the Rise Above Plastics Speaker Training Program that I too participated in as a trainer. She's got all the information now and a lifetime love of the ocean to share. 

She's also a voice for Hawaiian Sea Turtles or Honus. Here's her Aloha Honu page too. 

Thanks for the great effort Susie and here's to more beach cleanups and collaborations!

I'm also passing on tips to help the ocean as I countdown to my 365th beach cleanup.
With 9 to go, here's what I am calling 

TIP #9 - USE REUSABLE GROCERY BAGS

My favorite is Chico Bags. They scrunch up into a little pouch. I use it and then stuff it right back into my purse. They fit in pockets too. Leave a few in the car, the office and purse and you are covered! 
They work well for fruit and veggie bags, or any other item in a store on the run. Many places sell cotton veggie and fruit bags too that are washable as are Chico Bags.
