Original: ‘It’s so important’: Plastic Ocean Project, UNCW volunteers clean Highway 421 on Halloween
Volunteers from the Plastic Ocean Project and the University of North Carolina Wilmington spent Halloween collecting litter along Highway 421 in the Wilmington, North Carolina area. Participants stressed the importance of keeping roadside trash out of waterways that feed into the ocean, and the event highlighted ongoing community efforts to tackle plastic pollution locally.
Why now: The Halloween cleanup combined a community service event with growing local concern about plastic waste reaching the ocean.
