2021: Marine Debris

Did you know one person can create up to 1,642 pounds of trash each year (avg 5 pounds a day)? For a family of four, that's about 6, 570 pounds per year.

When residents throw anything “away,” it immediately becomes the responsibility of one of America’s thousands of local governments. It is an awesome responsibility as there is an increasing number of American’s who discard an exponentially growing amount of waste each day and year.

The concept of “away” is worthy of study by K-12 grade school students. (And all of us.)
