Mission: Saving the Sea was established with the clear and significant objective of raising awareness among individuals and the broader public about environmental issues, with a particular focus on the vital importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling materials such as plastic, paper, and aluminum, thereby diverting them from landfills. The club aims to engage students through various initiatives, including environmentally focused activities like beach cleanups, fostering their involvement in environmental advocacy efforts. Our club endeavors to raise awareness by also creating informative presentations and newsletters accessible to a wide audience and by organizing enjoyable group activities that not only promote awareness but also inspire active support for our cause. We have consistently emphasized to all our members that our mission is to dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly to the preservation of our oceans and the betterment of our environment. Given the alarming statistics of 5.25 trillion macro and micro pieces of plastic present in our oceans, with approximately 46,000 pieces per square mile weighing 269,000 tonnes, it is imperative that we take decisive action to bring about even the slightest positive change. Saving the Sea remains unwavering in its commitment to making a tangible difference and a better world for all.
