ABOVE: Members of the Florida Atlantic University track team pick up trash at Spanish River Park as part of a local ICC effort managed by Gumbo Limbo Nature Center.
BELOW: 4Ocean handed out free bracelets to volunteers and presented this display of what 1 pound of plastic looks like when isolated. It normally charges $24 and up for a bracelet and other environment-related fashion. Each sale helps remove 5 pounds of trash from oceans, rivers and coastlines.
