Here is their story:


"Wherever we are, we are connected to the sea. The ocean provides us with the oxygen we breathe and the climate that sustains us. We need a healthy ocean for our own survival.

Plastic pollution is killing wildlife, devastating oceans and threatening the health of our planet. Plastic represents a disconnection. It’s a material designed to last forever that we often use only once. Poorly managed plastic leaks into the sea. The ocean is downhill from everywhere.


Through education that inspires participation, Take 3 is building a global movement of people who are connected to the planet.


Join our movement today.


Take 3 believes in simple actions to address complex problems.


How can we stop plastic pollution from killing wildlife and suffocating our planet?


In 2009, two friends set about answering this question. Marine ecologist, Roberta Dixon-Valk and youth educator, Amanda Marechal developed Take 3 – an idea where a simple action could produce profound consequences. Joining forces with environmentalist, Tim Silverwood, the trio publicly launched Take 3 as an organisation in 2010.


Take 3 pieces of rubbish with you when you leave the beach, waterway or…anywhere, and you have made a difference.


The Take 3 for the Sea movement was born."


What an awesome idea - remove at least 3 pieces of garbage from the beach whenever you go.

About Me

I’m an avid cruiser and beach lover. Nothing thrills my soul more than looking out over the water from the deck of a ship. I often wish I could grow gills and a mermaid tail and dive in for a look at the beautiful and critical ecosystem that exists under the surface of planet Earth’s oceans and seas.

It’s for the love of the Earth and her oceans that I started this blog. I hope to educate and inspire people to make small changes in their life that could pay big dividends in defending our oceans and seas from the poisoning and life-threatening injuries caused by plastic waste.

I hope you’ll dive in to my site and read the posted articles. I’ve provided links to companies that are working to clean the oceans of plastic waste; many of them rely on your generosity in the form of donations. There are links to companies that sell products made from recycled plastic waste; I hope you’ll consider supporting them as well.

We can all make a difference! Please leave comments and suggestions, and I hope you enjoy.
