With the support of Think Blue San Diego and the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department, the coalition aims to educate beachgoers about the harms of beach and marine litter, and how we can lessen our impact by swapping out single-use, disposable products with reusable alternatives. A simple way to make a huge difference is opting for reusable items in place of disposable, single-use plastics. 

• Do not purchase styrofoam containers or single-use plastic cups. Use hard plastic or metal coolers, insulated bags and reusable, beach-safe cups as alternatives.
• Do not purchase single-use plastic bottles. Bring refillable water bottles and large reusable fluid containers for beverages instead.
• Refuse to purchase plastic utensils and do not take them from restaurants – bring and use reusable options.
• Avoid the use of plastic bags at every opportunity possible.
• Eliminate the need for single-use sandwich bags and food wrappers by shopping in bulk and packing food in reusable food storage containers.
• Leave the beach you enjoyed better than it was when you arrived! Pack out what you packed in!
