Toronto represents the Great Lakes. This century, only five of 50 league champs have been Great Lakes teams.

Go Jays. Go Great Lakes.

Really enjoying watching Slow Horses, but I hate how often Gary Oldman is shown throwing cigarettes on the ground.... multiple times per episode! 🚯🚭 We need to stop normalizing this #PlasticPollution in media. #SmokingLitter

Meet Coco the veined octopus created out of littered #plastic to celebrate the release of the docuseries Our Oceans now streaming on Netflix. She is constructed out of over 2,000 pieces of lake and ocean plastic, some of which were picked up by A Greener Future volunteers! #LitterArt #OurOceans

🚨 Microplastics: From Our Oceans to Our Bodies 🚨

ECOTON’s recent “Plastic Surgery on Plastic Man” event in Surabaya, Indonesia sent a clear message—plastic pollution isn’t just harming the planet; it’s now a threat to human health.

Plastic debris picked up along the shore of #LakeOntario in Mississauga, Ontario. #PlasticPollution #Microplastic #Nurdles #GreatLakes

Since 2014, we've collected a total of 7,167,514 pieces of litter! It may seem like the problem is getting worse every year, but is that true? More cleanups, more volunteers, a larger staff, and better targeting of more polluted areas for cleanups have all played a part in increasing our numbers. ⁠

🌞 Summer Recap! 🌞⁠
⁠
From city cleanups to nurdle hunts on the beach, we made every moment count this season! Thank you to all the amazing volunteers and supporters who joined us in making such an impactful summer possible.

No pollutant has a more gleeful, Dr. Seussian name than the "nurdle." And we spill a lot of them, as BloombergNEF wrote on Friday ($), in an update about companies fined for doing so:

"It takes 600 nurdles to make one small plastic bottle.
Over 11 trillion are estimated to enter oceans each
year."

Hello! We're new here! We're an environmental non-profit in Canada that preserves the environment through litter cleanups, education and events. To date, our volunteers have helped pick up over 7 million pieces of litter!
