Join The Wynwood Yard, Debris Free Oceans, and 4Ocean on this (fun!) mission to beautify Wynwood while also making an impact on Biscayne Bay and Miami’s beaches. Inland trash eventually makes its way from city centers to our waterways, harming marine life and water quality.
June’s featured non-profit grassroots organization is 4Ocean. During a trip to Bali, two surfers—Alex and Andrew—were shocked by the amount of plastic plaguing local fishing channels. It inspired them to create the 4Ocean Bracelet. Made from recycled materials, every bracelet purchased funds the removal of 1 pound of trash from the ocean and coastlines. In less than 2 years, 4Ocean has removed 629,942 pounds of trash from the ocean and coastlines.
Included in the $20 participation fee is a reusable KleanKanteen cup which will get you a complimentary draft beer at the entry to the clean up (PLUS $1 back on every draft beer purchased ever at The Bar at The Yard forever thereafter), trash bags, gloves, pickers, and directions. You'll travel through the neighborhood, cleaning up as you go, and make pit stops for sponsored drinks and bites.
