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 cleaning up litter along Highway 421 in the Wilmington, North Carolina area. Organizers stressed the importance of keeping roadside trash out of waterways that feed into the ocean, where plastic pollution threatens marine life.

Why now: The Halloween-timed community cleanup drew local attention to ongoing efforts against plastic pollution in coastal North Carolina.
