All You Need is a Bathing Suit with a Pocket. Join us!

"... If each person would take away one plastic bottle with each visit to the beach, it would be a different world." ...

What if ... there was a group that was Social but fun for All ages and Educational too! For sure, no one likes a trashy beach! 'The perfect combination of having fun and raising environmental awareness.' All you need is a bathing suit with a pocket!

OCEAN POCKETS!

Okay …. ! So this is how "Ocean Pockets" works!

For this, first get a bathing suit with a pocket! Or a top! Then go to the Ocean or any body of water, a mountain lake, a stream, a rain-puddle. Any location, local, or anywhere around the world will do.

When you come across a piece of plastic, put it in your POCKET! (Just 1 piece of plastic fine.) When you come across a plastic bottle, take it away for Extra Points! (Just 1 plastic bottle fine)

This way, you will have put a piece of the OCEAN IN YOUR POCKET!

If there are trash cans, make sure they are for recycling. If they are not, the plastic or plastic bottle you will have picked up will go back into the OCEAN! Get it?

Suggestion--Leave a plastic bag, preferred, in your trunk or bike basket. Then drop off your found piece of the OCEAN in your neighborhood recycle bin!

All are welcome, and it's FREE to do this. You are on your own, and with the SEA.

And that's the essence of "Ocean Pockets!" to remind us all.

MEET UPS POSTED AT RANDOM

As you will see, everyone here is smart, beautiful, savvy about the environment, and about the growing plastic sea shells on the Florida beaches. Now, on occasion, there will be an "Ocean Pockets" Group date and time listed on Meetup on any random day. Why not?

This Group is also mature enough to be on an Ocean Pockets "Honor System" (call it what you will) while on individual visits to the Florida Beaches, and with much appreciation -- from the Ocean! Most of you do this anyway. You know who you are -- thanks for walkin' the talk!

Excerpt from the book, TOUCH THE OCEAN:THE POWER OF OUR COLLECTIVE EMOTIONS, exclusive to Ocean Pockets, from the author, James Nemec, LMT, CST-D:

"If only one person could take away only one plastic bottle each time they visited the ocean it would be a different world." ...
