How does it hurt the environment?

While working on the beaches, researchers have unintentionally left research materials like syringes used to draw blood samples. These plastics are not only harmful to the environment, but they can also be harmful to the residents who frequent the beaches daily.

Who is helping and how?

Santiago, a neighborhood bike instructor, takes his young biking students out to do beach clean-ups. These children aged 5-16 bike to the beaches and collect plastics and other trash to protect the locals and the environment.
