Mornin’!

We’ve been helping some friends on a project aimed at tackling shoreline pollution at the root by better understanding how we all handle waste during those long beach days. They've been exploring ways to make it easier and more convenient to keep our beaches clean—especially during those full days with friends or family.

They're collecting anonymous feedback through a short questionnaire to guide them in developing an eco-friendly, functional solution that could help reduce litter and protect our coastal environments. If you're a beachgoer and have a few minutes to share your thoughts, your input would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. The results are in from our question about creating an app and the results are pretty clear! Time to get to work…

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
