Meet Yasmine: An Ocean Wise Youth alum making waves for our ocean! 🌊
Yasmine, a passionate ocean advocate, is creating ripples of change. After discovering that cigarette butts are the #1 littered item in the world, she took action. Through our Ocean Bridge program, Yasmin created eye-catching transit posters, raising awareness about the harmful impact of cigarette butts on marine life. She invited people to join local beach cleanups, sparking a movement that extends far beyond the shoreline with her initiative the Buttwatch campaign.
When we invest in young people like Yasmine, our impact on the ocean multiplies. They inspire family, friends, teachers, and community members to join the global ocean conservation movement. Yasmine’s dedication even inspired her dad, who has already collected over 50,000 cigarette butts this year! 🙌
In honor of World Ocean Day, for the rest of June, Tru Earth will be matching donations dollar for dollar, up to $10,000! Let’s make waves together! 🌊 https://lnkd.in/gvfY2ztR
