Anyone doing a beach cleanup?
Gibraltar Island and Put-in-Bay from a #seiche. Seiches are caused when strong winds & rapid changes in atmospheric pressure push water from one end of a body of water to another, exposing the bottom of the bay.

Learning a lot about #plastic #recycling at the Plastics World Expo in Cleveland. #refuse #reduce #reuse is first but happy to be here so I can be a better resource for when you have questions.

Thanks to funding from @DartContainer to CGLR's Circular Great Lakes initiative, we're offering a grant opportunity to help communities implement stormwater filtration systems to prevent plastic litter from entering the #GreatLakes. #PlasticFreeJuly
