Welcome!
We are Brad and Sherri, lifelong residents in Windsor/Essex County. We also love to travel whenever the opportunity presents itself, and water exploration is always a priority on our agenda!
In 2015, we moved to the shores of Lake Erie in Amherstburg. At that time, we noticed a significant amount of waste collecting daily on area beaches. We both really enjoy the water and the peace and tranquility the great lakes provides us at home, so the realization that this was happening, begged the question, what can we do to help?!
Plastic Pollution is rampant globally, even many of our favourite Caribbean locations have significant plastic waste accumulation!
We decided to do whatever we could to make small changes at home to reduce the amount of plastic we were personally using and bring solutions to others to contribute to the cleanup of plastics in our environment!
We want to show you easy ways you too can be part of a more sustainable solution, reducing plastic consumption for the benefit of our Planet.
We are here to collaborate, share, promote ideas, and assist others to make a small change to create a big impact on the world!
Collectively, just imagine the difference we could make!!
What CAN we do?
Over the last several years, we noticed an increasing amount plastic pollution on the shoreline of Lake Erie. For the last few Summers, we decided to monitor a 600 ft. section of Lake Erie’s shoreline and document of our findings.
After evaluating our data, it was evident that we need to pursue ways of reducing single use plastics. We are going to provide ecofriendly alternatives to plastics, at a reasonable cost, and share information we find on plastic solutions so, we can discover how can truly make a big difference!!
We believe that people can only do what they know. As we learn together, we will gain the awareness required to make better choices!
We hope to share/provide easy ways to reduce the unnecessary waste we create and make just a small change in the world!
We are planning on helping in the following 3 areas on the tiles below:
