Dear Friends,
We're kicking start a series of 2 "trashy" workshops with the first one next Friday on Marine Trash and Us. These are excellent workshops for those interested to learn more about the issue so we can share more on our guided walks, or for those interested to brainstorm ideas and projects we can do to tackle this issue.
If you know friends, students or volunteers who may be interested, please help to spread the word!
As usual, seats for the Marine Trash workshop by the ICCS Otters and The Leafmonkey Workshop are limited so please register early to avoid disappointment!
See you there!
Cheers,
November

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
If plastic trash were out of sight, out of mind, are they really completely out of our lives? When disposed, many of our plastic trash would land in our oceans and harm marine animals in various ways such as entanglement and plastic ingestion. It has also been found that humans are not spared from the insidious effects of this plastic plague. What can we do or are doing to salvage this situation? This workshop is useful for all who are interested to learn more as well as passionate members of the community who would like to share their feedback, brainstorm solutions and network with like-minded volunteers to make a difference.
