Our beautiful coast is part of who we are as Nova Scotians. It binds us together, no matter where we live. Sadly, too much trash is choking our environment. More than eight million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean annually. And while no silver bullet exists, On Saturday September 18th, The Rotary Club of Dartmouth along with thousands of passionate volunteers worldwide joined forces to keep the beaches, and ocean free of trash on World Cleanup Day.
Our dedicated bunch of Rotarians picked up trash along the beach just north of Jeddore Cape. It was a great day for a little fresh air, some exercise and Rotary fellowship while helping to keep our coastline clean.
