Happy World Ocean's Day! Officially started in Canada and than identified by the United Nations, this wonderful holiday is one of awareness and conservation, with a dash of honor to the worlds most crucial resource. Our oceans face difficult obstacles everyday from pollution to human's over consumption of fish. This year's theme is, Our Oceans: Greeting the Future.
What a better way to greet the future than to take a step in the right direction of conservation. Last week a bill cleared the senate that would prohibit food and other vendors from using Styrofoam products by 2014. It passed by a 21-15 vote. Styrofoam is an abundant product for consumers and is nearly indestructible, making it the second most common type of beach debris in California, according to the Southern California Coastal Water Quality Research Project.
