Litter is everywhere: on our streets, in our parks, on our shorelines and in the water. “Blown by the wind on trash day, tossed out car windows, intentionally dumped – however it gets there, it’s an eyesore and bad for the environment,” the Barnegat Bay Partnership laments. This week, volunteers can join the BBP for its annual Barnegat Bay Blitz, a watershed-wide cleanup.

“Volunteer at one (or more!) of the cleanups happening throughout Ocean County during Earth Week,” the BBP encourages.
