- Love your keycaps <3
- Stop using plastic bags
- These caps are awesome
- Cut up my 6-pack holders before recycling!
- Pick up rubbish as I see them, especially anywhere close to the ocean
- Reduce plastic products.
- Reuse water bottles for crafts or containers 🙂 Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
- I have a experience. The oil tanker foundered near Korea Yellow sea in 2007. When the oil tanker foundered and spilled oil, I volunteered to clean it up. It’s really hard to get rid of black oil. But many many people and I did it together. It has now been restored. This experience is really shocked me, so I volunteered to clean beaches in fall regularly. I love the sea, should protect and take care of them.
- Trying to avoid purchasing unnecessarily plastic wrapped groceries and products in my household and collect recyclable materials separately.
- We should reduce the use of plastic.
- An act to help protect the sea life and the easiest way that everyone can do is to not litter anywhere especially at the sea/coast/beaches, to help prevent sea animals from being harmed by trapping them or causing them to mistake it for food. It can also help the aquatic plants by not blocking the sunlight etc.
- Clean trash on my local beach! Thank you
- I could cut apart plastic that fish and animals could get caught in.
- You know those plastic rings that hold a four pack of beer together? I always, always pull them apart before throwing them away. Even if they are recycled, if they get into the water system, they can strangle birds, fish, turtles and cause death. By pulling them apart I make sure there are no circles to get stuck in.
- Here is an example of what I mean https://goo.gl/images/vsZo2N
- Use less plastic
- Using the shower for 5 minutes shorter helps a bot…
- Carefully and articulately process and deconstruct recyclable plastics.
- Jelly,
- I am an Advanced Padi scuba diver in the US. Started when I was 13 years old diving in Cozumel Mexico.
- All scuba divers realize the importance
- Of protecting sea life, because we live in that world briefly too. I advocate against the millions of sharks killed each year and oppose shark finning practices. ~ Theorem Burkhart

- Reduce the number of disposable plastic bags I use
- I’ve recently started living on my own and have been getting plastic bags from grocery stores. I know now that they end up in masses in the sea. I will start using reusable bags, I know I’m just one person but I know something this small makes for big changes if a lot of people do this. This coral key is very humbling.
- Use cloth bags instead of plastic
- Do not use plastic bags when we take away food!
- To raise awareness and reduce waste
- I don’t throw away plastics …
- Don’t go to the sea! So it won’t be polluted!
- Stop using Q-tip.
- don’t throw plastic waste into the sea
- I will try to educate my friend in high school the ways to protecte the sea life (such as: stop dumping rubbish into sea, stop using plastic bag, use sea-friendly products)
- While it sounds incredibly stupid, one of the smallest and easiest acts to do that legitimately save sea life is cutting the plastic rings that six packs of soda come in. It literally takes seconds to do, but can prevent sea life (on land or in the sea) such as turtles, seagulls, and fish from getting caught in them and ultimately dying.
- Don’t throw trash into the sea
- I have never thrown trash to the sea ^^
- Just clean the beach when you are there, grab a cigarette someone left or a plastic bag someone forgot. No need to do it for hours, just clean for a few minutes before you leave.
- Same thing goes for every part of nature
- Protect the environment in general. Separate waste, don’t throw your rubbish on the streets and tell other people to do the same. We can’t really control what big companies do, but that’s the least we can do.
- A really small and easy act you can do is to not use products with micro plastics in them. Micro plastics are very small pieces of plastic that are commonly found in lots of products. Micro plastics build up in our seas and damage wildlife and ecosystems. By simply avoiding products with these in them (such as exfoliating face creams and synthetic fabrics) you can reduce the harm caused to our oceans. Micro plastics make up 30% of the plastic waste in the seas and this simple rule can have a huge impact.
- Not throw trashes into the sea perhaps?
- No longer use sunscreen with the chemical that contributes to reef bleaching. (Basically mineral based are goood)
- Educate Yourself About Oceans and Marine Life
- I recycle everyday and hope this helps stop the pollution of our seas.
- Pick up trash at the beach and never steep on Coral
- Use less plastics!
- I recycle our trash to prevent them from going to the ocean.
- Pollution has always been a big problem that harms the eco system of the ocean, especially in Vietnam, so what i suggest we start doing is stop throwing every piece of trash into the ocean. Let’s all make an effort to save our beautiful beaches, 3260km of them!
- The smallest act would be to stop using products with micro plastics and wear clothes made from natural fibers so that no synthetic micro fibers go into the ocean when i do laundry
- i try to use as little plastic as possible; would bring my own pot when buying food so no bags or containers will be used
- To protect sea life, we should use fewer plastic product. I will bring reusable bags for shopping whenever possible.
- Use fewer plastic items!
- I could pick up trashIi see on the ground. I can also spread awareness so that more people are sympathetic to sea coral.
- For me personally, to help protect sea life is to make sure to recycle, especially plastic, cause the more I recycle and the less I throw out, I know that won’t end up polluting the seas.
- Use less plastic! Plastic is so easy to eliminate from our daily lives and has such a huge impact on marine life all over the world. Using just a little less can save lives, and protect our natural wonders.
- Bring my own reusable bag to do groceries shopping!
- Buy fish from sustainable fishing.
- Don’t use plastic bottles!
- The easiest and most effective thing I’ve done to protect sea life is to stop eating seafood 🙂
- Recycle Plastics
- Not littering helps
- Reuse your plastic bags! And when you’re done with them make sure to put them in the plastics bin. (or just don’t buy/use plastic bags at all) We need less plastic soup in the sea.
- Stop using plastic microbeads, glitter, and other materials that may end up in the sea and destroy life.
- stop throw garbarge to see
- Get a goldfish and feed him
- I’ll be sure to check whether the seafood that I eat are from sustainable sources from now on!
- Not buy coral from gift shops and support non-for-profits.
- I can stop polluting the sea by not letting my impure body touch the sea.
- Ensure to recycle all plastic! So much plastic floats around the ocean and kills plants and animals in the ocean.
- Stop all littering & pollution
- Put plastic bags in trash bin
- Collecting garbage from the beach before it spreads into the water
- Making sure to pick up any trash littering the beach or shoreline.
- I’ve been working in organisation aimed at reducing pollution and waste on beaches. We usually go to universities to try and motivate people to come with us on Saturday mornings to help pick up garbage from the beach.
- Stop to litter
- The smallest act I have done to protect our oceans and sea life is I would walk the beach throwing back any starfish I see that gets washed ashore. It may be a minuscule act but it means all the difference to the ones I save.
- The most simple (and the smallest as well I’d suppose) act I could (and actually) do to protect the sea life is simply to not polute the local beaches and the water. There’s nothing as nice as finding your favourite beach nice and clean for everybody. 🙂
- I can clean the beaches.
- Oh my, this is absolutely beautiful! I love the sea and everything in it so this is just pure awesome sauce 🙂
- To continue to promote and encourage people to recycle and to teach them why that action is necessary to help heal the planet.
- Don’t throw your trash into the environment, put it in the bin.
- Pay attention to what you are putting down the sink.
- use natural detergent
- The smallest act I could do to protect the see is clean up around my local beaches.
- Do not touch. Just look.
- Use less plastic! Plastic takes a long timeto break down and it’s starting to leak into our oceans
- I live near the beach and I always pick up trash along the beach when I walk.
- don’t liter. plastic waste can get caught around marine life, and they can consume bits of trash that they think is food.
- I recycle plastics and refuse to use plastic straws
- re-use plastic bags
- I never use plastic bags when grocery shopping, but tbf everyone in germany seperates their trash and nothing ends up in the oceans
- Donate a bit of money to an organization for sea life. Doesn’t even have to be a lot, every penny helps.
- Use the tiniest bit less of plastic. Notably, this act promotes snowballing into a more plastic-free life.
- I am buying 2 4Ocean bracelets for my wife and me for The holiday season to help support ocean clean up and remove 2 ponds of ocean trash.
- You should recycle your waste and not litter, especially not in rivers, because that trash will end up in the sea.
- I think it is personal awareness for sustainability. By being aware of what kind of goods we are consuming and if they are “greeen” vs harmful for the environment, we can do our part (even minimally) to protect the seas AND lands.
- First of all, those look stunning!
- I think the smallest act is to not leave rubbish/trash at the beach. Always make sure to clean up after playing at the beach or having a picnic/barbecue.
- Recycle! It takes little to no effort and can save so many lives
- I’m a resident of a beach town in Florida, so I’ve lived around the ocean all my life. The simplist thing is to care. I care about the coral reefs, wildlife, the natural beauty of the water sculpted world and I try to keep all of it in mind, no matter what I’m doing. Taking an extra 5 seconds to properly throw away a bottle could save an animal. Taking an extra 10 minutes to drive to the auto parts store could keep liters of dirty engine oil out of our natural waterways. Protecting the ocean isn’t some monumental task, it’s so simple if you care and not pollute. When presented with an option of a little extra effort and a little less effort, it’s always better to choose the course of action that does not result in irreversable damage.
- Help reduce carbon emissions!
- Returning the fishes that have become trapped in the little puddles of the beach, or take out of the water the residues that you can see when swimming.
- I always pick up at least 1 piece of trash every time I visit the beach.
- well use less soap?
- I run spacecat designs, i would LOVE this as a token of my unwavering devotion to protecting sea life. a simple donation helps, but so would actively volunteering.
- Stop using plastic bag
- Recycle so it doesn’t end up in the ocean or landfill
- Cut the plastic rings from the soda can things
- look like
- Not littering is an act so small that everyone should be doing to save not only sea life, but the rest of the environment as well
- Use water containers to avoid using water bottles that could end up in the oceans.
- Reduce the types of products I buy that contain plastics, specifically things that have lots of tiny pieces.
- Tell friends about donating to good causes
- Don’t buy soda bottles with the plastic rings
- Don’t litter in the ocean, and recycle plastic so it doesn’t go to the ocean dumps
- Never use plastic bags for shopping, always bring your own sustainable shopping bag 😀
- Recycle. Making sure plastics, glass and other recyclables don’t end up in the sea. These material hurt wildlife, destroy their homes and takes the oceans true beauty away. Recycling is something anyone can do.
- The smallest act for me would be something like limiting how many plastic bags I use when I go to the grocery store.
- Ask for a paper bag instead of plastic.
- Not litter.
- Use reusable and recyclable aluminium water bottles instead of plastic water bottles.
- Reusable shopping bags & food/drink containers.
- Recycle and not litter in the sea.
- Definitely try and read up on the current state of coral reefs to become aware of what larger acts are possible to help preserve them.
- I don’t swim.
- I try to use less plastics and re-use as much as I can!
- wont crack it when swim
- I avoid using plastic forks, spoons, etc
- My girlfriend works at the zoo so we’ve been trying to achieve a “no plastic garbage” lifestyle to help the sea life who are being overrun with garbage and dying as a result of pollution. You have beautiful keys and wonderful people, thank you for all that you do!
- Smallest act that I could do is not littering trash at all times even when I’m not near the ocean and pick up trash if I’m near shores. Also, I could and will donate to https://coral.org/ for a little help.
- Going on biweekly beach clean ups
- Curting down on the use of plastics
- Stop throwing garbage where it doesn’t belong
- I could donate to a charity that helps with this kind of thing, I could make posters about it. There are many things I could do.
- Make sure garbage is properly disposed of and not dumped into the ocean where it can trap and kill wildlife.
- I do not litter, both on land or to the sea, especially plastic products
- Eat sustainable seafood.
- To always dispose trash in proper places and ways. Already have and will continue on doing.
- To educate and help others understand the important role of corals in maintaining a diverse ecosystem and protecting coastlines. To promote interest in sea life.
- Double check the aquatic toxicity when disposing of chemicals/metals through the drain
- Protect your local rivers and check clarity and toxic levels. Reach out to local authorities if there is something wrong about the look or smell of the river.
- Rivers go to Seas, you don’t need to live by the sea to help!
- Stop peeing when I’m at the beach i guess? Haha just kidding I think stop polluting water by throwing garbage is the best thing I can do now to protect sea life
- Educating others by not throwing their garbage to the ocean. Something as simple as refuse plastic can do a substantial amount of damage to the ecosystem.
- I live in Florida and whenever I go to the beach I pick up cans and trash on the shore.
- Don’t leave your trash on the beach.
- I live near the beach in Miami, and if my friend and I see trash in the water we pick it up and put it in the nearest trash can. It’s a small thing but if everyone did it, the beaches and sea life would be in better shape.
- Jelly Key is Jelly Key!
- Love you, my friends.
- Recycle all plastics
- Share with my toddlers the wonder of sunlit tide pools. Inculcate in them a sense of wonderment and appreciation of sea life’s variety, origin of life on earth and fragility
- What I have been doing is telling all my friends and family to stop using any beauty products that use plastic micro-beads, because they are eaten in mass quantities by fish, which harms them, and then eaten by us. What I could be doing is eating more sustainable sources of fish, which I will be actively doing.
- I can ride my bike more instead of driving everywhere!
- Eat less.
- I have always had a passion for marine biology and am apart of a scuba diving community, Crew3000, and we have been active in the coral restoration field. We have been setting up coral tree farms to reintroduce staghorn coral into their native habitats where coral counts are low in the Caribbean. Love the work you guys are doing and hope for the best for you and your company!
- I can stop using so many plastic bottles. Start using a Bpa free reusable container
- I help my local university group clearing the beach of rubbish at our SSSI site.
- Recycling plastic bottles or reusing them. Throwing them in their proper recycling bins helps too
- Reduce, reuse, recycle (:
- not much but keep the beaches clean
- Use less plastic
- Cut those bands between soda cans

- put the garbage into the trash
- Be vegetarian! Don’t eat fish
- Do not litter!
- Not eat as much seafood probably. Freshwater fish is better in my opinion anyway.
- One would be to be more careful about sunscreen and snorkeling. It needs to be absorbed into the skin before you should go swimming. Lathering it on and then jumping into the water is so careless 🙁
- no littering
- Stop using plastic grocery bags, which have a tendency to end up in the oceans and harm ocean life.
- Recycling bottles cans and glass stuff.
- Recycle plastics!
- I reduce my carbon footprint and energy usage to try and stop global warming!

- Thanks Jelly key made so many nice key caps!
- The smallest act you could do can be as simple as recycling plastics or opting for non-plastic products in the first place.
- Cutting up the plastic can holders!
- Better recycling in my house and community
- Dont eat shark soup.
- We always pick up all plastic we find in the ocean while scuba diving. Every bit counts!
- Years back, my girlfriend and I went to Florida shortly after the oil spill. We weren’t able to volunteer to help clean up, but we did photograph the cleanup workers and share on social media at the time to raise awareness.
- Watch what I throw down drains.
- It all ends up at the ocean eventually, we should be aware of how we are harming the animals with chemicals and things some people tend to just dump down the drain from time to time.
- Not let go of balloons (so they don’t end up deflated in the sea)
- I live in Florida, and have grown up in a small fishing village that is slowly dying due to overfishing from large commercial fishing entities, so I know the devastation of the ocean and the reefs around us. The smallest act, besides properly recycling plastic and disposing of trash and litter, is telling people around me every chance I get about the growing issue of the ocean pollution.
- Purchase a reusable water bottle with a message saying you care about the ocean and a website.
- – It will help to limit your usage of plastics which hurt the environment.
- – It will advertise a way for people to join a good cause. The more that join the greater the fix.
- – Have the website just start facts about how a single water bottle can change the world.
- – Have the price of the water bottle go towards one free one to someone in need. So me buying one would also supply one to india or another location in the world to curb waste.
- – Have the ability to share the wealth and another person will randomly have their water bottle given for free to them and 2 water bottles will be donated to help the world.
- – It will help people loose weight which will reduce the amount of garbage as well as the less you consume the less garbage you create
- One simple water bottle can help fix the world.
- I recycle everything. I make sure all of my waste gets taken care of the right way, so it doesn’t end up in the nature or in the sea.

- Recycle plastics so they don’t end up in the ocean. This is “small” but effective.
- Don’t be a dick and throw trash in sea.
- I’ve gone beach cleaning several times, and the types of trash I’ve found is astounding. From razor blades to glass bottles, it really is disheartening to see. But I would go back to cleaning beaches and stop storm drain dumping as that does make a significant impact.
- Trash cleanup after holidays at the beach
- picking up all trashes on the beach when I go there, and never take plastic bags when I’m out for buying things because I always have my bag with me. Guess it’s very mundane, but that’s how I do it
- Probably to stop eating caught fish as overfishing is becoming a real problem.
- These are such a beautiful reminder of the complexity of our oceans.
- Stop using plastic bags!
- cut up plastic rings from six packs of cans
- Pick up trash ( anywhere), and be mindful of what goes into your drain.
- Recycle plastic responsibly.

- The Three Rs – Reduce (waste), Reuse (materials) and Recycle
- I take efforts to recycle every trash I make, including anything that I see in front of me, and actively live with intent to reduce mine and my family’s environment footprint.
- Recycle plastic bottles! Keeps dangerous plastic away from places where it could harm animals (the ocean and out in the wild).
- Avoid using vehicles, services, and products with a large carbon footprint.
- Using greener cleaning products
- Make sure to always recycle so less plastic ends up in our oceans.
- I am not that old, so the smallest act that I can do is teaching the people who younger than me that should do the smallest thing as they can protect sea life.
- Advocate not littering in the ocean.
- Reuseable water bottles! It’s a no brainier we need the world to get behind.
- Me an my hubby loves to collect Jellykey, thanks for your amazing work.
- Cut Soda retaining rings
- Remove bottles from beaches, cut your soda sleeves, don’t touch sea life while diving or snorkeling
- Pick up trash on the beach.
- Properly dispose of trash
- Cut up soda plastic rings.
- Recycling
- Don’t throw ANYTHING into the precious sea!
- don’t throw rubbish in the sea
- That would be to reduce waste production, in particular plastics. Could also utilize my network science research to aid marine ecological systems.
- Always put bathroom plastics in the bin, like cotton buds. Never flush them!
- Create less trash and recycle more, so that less trash ends up in the ocean.
- I am not really go to beach too much but when i have a chance to go there and walking along the coast, i just grab all the nylon bag or any trash I saw in the first place.
- The smallest thing I could think of is not flush my cat litter… sorry I had no idea…
- Drink fewer plastic bottles of water.
- Recycle plastic
- Making sure that you ALWAYS clip six pack rings (the plastic rings that go around a six pack of cans). Sea life can get stuck in these and be strangled or unable to swim. All living beings deserve a chance to live a safe harm free life!
- Eliminating plastic as much as possible! There are so many companies out there that produce high quality reusable containers and bags and utensils for on the go use. There is no excuse really, just gotta make it a habit!
- Don’t dump garbage and chemicals into the ocean.
- I donate to green peace and campaign my local, regional and state governments to adopt policies that protect and conserve nature and wildlife.
- Use less sunscreen
- Don’t use products containing plastic microbeads. They are too small to recycle and end up in the sea and into the food chain
- Recycle/never litter
- Recycling plastics to keep them out of the ocean
- I don’t know ,but did you hear they were successful in transplanting them now?
- My family recycles everything, reducing the waste that ends up in the ocean
- Stay home and dont go to the beach.
- dont drop anything at the beach
- The smallest act I could (and have started) is to not use any products that contain microbeads in them.
- Hi Jelly Key!
- I would try to recycle and sort waste as precise as possible. So deconstructing things into parts that could be recyclable vs non-recyclable. It’ll help alleviate the amount of recyclable trash that goes into the ocean because it doesn’t biodegrade.
- Avoid plastic waste as much as possible
- Bring your own grocery bags and use a water bottle.
- Dont litter in rivers and oceans.
- Throw any beached litter into the trash so that it doesn’t get swept up into the oceans.
- Don’t pollute the sea and don’t support businesses that is overfishing the sea!
- Recycle plastics and be mindful of what chemicals are dumped down the drain.
- Informing you and your colleagues about the Ocean Cleanup https://www.theoceancleanup.com/ and asking you after self due diligence to promote their organization. I could also never use a disposable plastic bottle again.
- I’ve already and will continue to use my regular water bottle to avoid using plastic bottles, which can be harmful for sea life.
- Eat less fish so the production doesn’t have to go overboard
- After eating on beach i need to push it into garbage.
- I participate in beach clean ups, removing trash that would otherwise pollute the ocean.
- Cut back on pesticides that are washed into the gulf, use natural alternatives.
- Stop using so much money on mechanical keyboards
- Do your best to recycle and stop littering. Acid runoff and other debris getting into the ocean has caused a large amount of the damage to sea life that we observe today.
- I studied corals and coral reefs in college and graduate school, so I’m luckier than most in that I’ve had the opportunity to see several coral reefs in person.
- The most immediate and direct small act you can do to protect marine life is, if you do have the chance to visit a coral reef, never touch any of the coral. Don’t step on it, poke it, collect it, or use it to steady yourself. Some colonies have been growing for hundreds of years, and all of them need to be in the best shape possible to survive all of the stress linked to the changing climate.
- No microbeads or plastic bottles!
- I help protect sea life by not buying products that contain microplastics (glitter, microbes, etc) that kill wildlife.
- Donate to sea life conservation efforts and encourage my friends and family to do the same.
- Not buying glitter/soaps with microplastics. These particles can damage ecosystems, and are already undergoing regulations in many states.
- Be careful what we throw away. Things like plastic can end up in the ocean so going just a few minutes out if your way to take things to a recycling plant can help elemenate plastic in our oceans and out if marine animals. It would be easy and simple to join cleanups that are close to the beaches if you live close enough. It would be simple to donate some money to charities that do those things too. Living in a landlocked state, it can be tough to participate at times but there are always ways.
- When I see some trash on the ground I can pick it up so that it does not get into the ocean and pollute it.
- every time i go surfing and i leave the water, bring 1 piece of plastic out of the ocean
- I’ll use less plastic bags
- Stop using toxic cleaning liquids.
- The smallest act one can do to protect sea life is to not throw plastic in the sea, because it is really unnecessary and stupid.
- Anyways, I wish you a happy holiday! 🙂
- Drink beer out of glass bottles instead of cans
- Cut plastic bottle holders so they don’t get around necks of animals.
- im jellykey‘s fans i’m very like Jellykey .im buy some jellykey,my english is very bad.sorry but i want to get this key. So thant you
- I Love Dolphin
- Vote for politicians that take pollution and global warming seriously. We need strict rules on pollution, and the economic powers of the nations is what is needed to clean up the ocean.
- Recycle plastics so they do not make it into the ocean. We have enough in the great pacific garbage patch.
- Not buy coral, shark and other harmful products from the sea!
- 1) stop buying food that comes separately packed in plastic – it ends up in our oceans. Bring your own bag to the supermarket.
- 2) Here in Belgium if the fish has MSC on the package, it means it has been fished from a sustainable source and in a non harmful way – I only buy that one. 🙂
- Eliminate microplastics.
- Don’t use plastic water bottles
- Eliminate use of plastic bags, and consume less packaged food.
- recycle plastics so they dont end up in the ocean
- Use paper bag instead of nylon bag!!
- Leave it alone.
- The smallest thing that I could do is to limit my pollution, as I live nowhere near the sea. I would recycle more and make sure to waste less.

- Clean up the beaches!
- Not dumping cooking oil down the kitchen drain because it will eventually end up in the ocean.
- Recycle and encourage others to do so as well
- Educate Amy kids
- Stop getting lids and straws with your drink. You have no idea where single use, disposable plastic is going to end up.
- The smallest thing I could do is basically keep doing what I’m doing. Keep recycling, keep using glass bottles instead of plastic, and keep using my cloth shopping bag instead of plastic ones. None of it realistically has an effect because I am doing it, but we’re a country of 5 million people, so maybe that makes some kind of difference.
- Picking up garbage at the beach when I’m about to leave.
- Recycling plastic products. While recycling glass and other materials is helpful, plastic has had a devastating effect upon oceans. By keeping it in a recycling loop, we can do our best to ensure that plastic products do not end up dumped in our waters.

- It’s crucial that we reimagine how we package commonly bought objects such as plastic bottles, wrappers, and containers. If we implement sustainably viable solutions, such as biodegradables and natural composite materials, we can reduce the damage from the consumer standpoint. However, as a lover of coral reefs – I do my best by shedding light on the issue with others. Environmental science is a passion that lights one’s heart, everyone should be open to it.
- Be smarter about how you recycle!
- Reduce use of plastics that end up in the ocean.
- Wear correct sunscreen while swimming in the ocean and leave corals alone!
- Today I will not eat fish for dinner
- Say no to plastic bags.
- Proper waste recycling

- The smaller act I could do to protect sea life is to donate to organizations that help protect it such as Oceania or OPS. I don’t get a chance to see sea life very much due to my working conditions but I try to help by donating to organizations that can help make more of a difference than my monetary value 🙂
- im working on a project with NOAA and my university right now. We are developing a coral reef nursery that will allow NOAA to outplant coral in the future.

- Like a lot of the world, I don’t have access to the sea. However, being conscious of which companies I’m purchasing from, and their level of environment friendliness is a huge factor. I like to think that in a way I’m voting with my money. Much like a US election, it doesn’t seem to matter, people are destroying the sea. But if everybody did it, I think it would, so I’m doing my part, even though I’m hundreds of miles from the sea.

- Recycle, and don’t litter
- If everyone stopped using bottled water and used reusable water bottles, we could eliminate so much waste going into our oceans. It’s an easy fix that just needs the buy in of everyone.
- Reduce plastic trash would greatly help out the ocean as it is one of the few things that does not break down naturally in the world and it also harms sea life because they may confuse it for jellyfish.
- Stop buying and using sunscreen with Oxybenzone, which bleaches coral reefs
- Making sure I recycle correctly and don’t put things down the drain that might end up polluting the sea.

- Smallest act one could do I suppose if just be conscious of ones consumption as so much waste ends up on the ocean. I live in South Florida so people are a bit more mindful of it here but not as much as one would hope. If I were to win a set of the caps I would make a donation to Ocean Watch Foundation, they work on preservation and restoration of coral reefs in Southeast Florida (my home). I think that is appropriate given your high conviction on this.

- What I do to help protect the sea is rescue feral cats and fins homes for them. Feral cats are vectors for toxoplasmosis gondii which is a disease that affects sea otters. The sea otter is a keystones species in the kelp forest by reducing the sea urchin population which when too high eats all the kelp. The kelp is important because it provides shelter and food for a variety of species that live in its habitat. So by rescuing feral cats I am reducing the number of possible vectors for this disease.

- Turn off a light. Electricity is generated mostly by coal burning. These days, we are running out of high quality coal to mine, therefore we use lower and lower quality, releasing more greenhouse nitrates and sulfates which precipitate in acidic rain. This acidic rain in soil pushes out ions such as magnesium, calcium and aluminum into nearby water sources. These salts collect on fish gills, suffocating them.
- Whenever I visit the nearby beaches in the summer, I make sure to bring a disposable bag with me in case i need to throw something away (anywhere I go too). Usually the maintenance at the beach do a pretty good job cleanup, but I try to pick up any trash littering the area.
- Donate a penny to the Sea Life Trust (but of course, I’d actually donate more =) )
- Well I live by the ocean so it’s safety means a lot to me, whenever I can I always go to the ocean to clean garbage from it’s shores, with the immense threat of global warming to our reefs I would love to do more for their safety in the future.
- I’ve spent some time doing ocean cleanup at various beaches and ports
- Don’t dump liquids you don’t want on the side of the road, as they will run off into the ocean, with some having harmful effects. Instead, take it to their depositiries where they can be safely disposed of.

- Reducing plastic waste, using reusable glass whenever possible. This 1. reduces garbage that can potentially wash out to sea after it leaves our house and 2. reduces our carbon foorptint slightly, which slightly slows down global warming…
- Use fewer plastic products.
- Use reusable bottles and bags, rather than disposable ones
- You can cut the rings of plastic six-pack holders (from beer or soda) before you recycle them.
- The plastic holders sometimes find themselves in coastal waters where sea turtles get trapped in them, or mistake them for a piece of food. Seagulls can also get trapped in them when the holders wash up on shores. Cutting the rings prevents anything from getting trapped.
- If you find trash on the beach, bring it with you to a trash can!
- I live by a shoreline and ecological preserve. I will spend a morning cleaning up plastics around the shore!

- I always try to remove any floating debris/pollution I see at the waters edge!
- The smallest thing I could do would be to actually STOP doing certain things I’m doing right now. The body wash that I use has very small pieces of plastic in it for a “scrub”. When this washes out to sea, fish can confuse it for food, which can affect their stomach.

I’m accustomed to waste littering the sea by me, and other than being disgusting, it also can be lethal to many animals.
- Walk around the beach and pick up trash. It’s relaxing, great way to explore, and helps the environment!
- Picking up trash on the beach when visiting.

- I will walk, bike, ride the bus, and esk8 as my main form of transportation to help reduce fossil fuel pollution which causes our oceans to warm up and causes mass-bleaching of corals and reefs.
- Recycle! Or to just throw things out in general.
- Currently a sophomore in hydrology at HCM University of Natural Resources and Environment. I’ve been taking part in analyzing Formosa polluted water, and that has left my fingers permanently burnt by phosphoric acid exposure. After the event, I figured trash does not play a major role in water pollution, chemical that is. As a Vietnamese student, the best I could do is collect the polluted water data and report them to the authorities. Looking at these keycaps, I wonder if it’s the only coral we will ever see again.
- You could raise awareness about an organisation working with the preservation of coral reefs or sea life in general.
- Be more mindful about pollution runoff near bodies of water. All of that pollution from farms, parking lots/roads, and factories ends up in the ocean eventually.

A few examples of choices we’ve made is (1) we no longer buy any product with plastic rings, like six-pack sodas, (2) we have eliminated seafood from our diets because of overfishing and the farmed-fish industry, and (3) we try to pick up litter regularly, especially plastic bags and straws. Every little bit helps, even small donations to ocean research groups!
- The smallest act that you could do though would probably be just picking up litter. Anytime you’re on a walk or see something that should be recycled or in a trash can, just pick it up!
- Stop using all products that have micro beads. The micro beads are plastic and they get washed into our rivers streams and oceans. We can all be proactive and not buy the products that contain them.

Professionally, I’m an aquatic life support systems drafter, working with Satchell Engineering. I design systems for keeping marine animals and marine plant life alive and healthy in zoos and aquariums all over the world. I love the ocean and I try my best to support it in whatever way I can.
- Put trash where it belongs
- Use less plastic and properly dispose of what plastic I do use.
- Eat seafood sourced from farms and not wild caught.
- I could/don’t eat seafood and don’t support industrial fishing practices.
- Eat less sea salt.
- Try to use as little plastic as possible in everyday life
- First, I am going to try and use less plastic products – which get stuck on turtles and makes me very sad. I am going to work to conserve water as well! Its honestly very important. Thanks
- The smallest act to protect sea life is to recycle more! Less refuse creates less messes near the coasts

- Typically, if I see loose garbage (especially plastic) by the ocean, I try to pick it up and throw it out after learning how sea turtles can be strangled by it.
- Be mindful of how we dispose of trash and other materials. Polluting the oceans creates unnecessary, unfair problems for the life that lives there. Don’t put things in the ocean that aren’t naturally supposed to be there.
- Scuba dive against debris: collecting trash from the sea when performing a scuba diving.
- When I go to the supermarket, I try to buy fish that is not overexploited.

- Ez, convincing seasore resident to stop the act of littering into the ocean, which they feel that it is much more comfortable than using a trash can
- Remove rubbish from the coast line regularly
- Clean up after yourself, but don’t stop there. If you see trash on the ground and it doesn’t belong to you, clean it up anyways. Be then bigger person. Pick it up and throw it in the appropriate trash bin, especially if it’s plastic. Everyone who litters does it out of convenience and laziness, and to console themselves, they tell themselves, “I’m no where near the ocean, it won’t affect it.” But if that were true, how did so much plastic end up in the ocean?
- To many people the ocean seems like a far away place that they have no impact over. Truth is we can make a large impact by simply changing some of our daily habits. We produce thousands of pounds of trash per year and a lot of this trash ends up in the ocean. By choosing to reuse plastic bags, cups, or glass jars at least once before tossing them, you can help keep the oceans beautiful.
- Con người ngừng tồn tại. Biển được bảo vệ =))

- Spread awareness. People don’t realize that sea covers more than 70% of earth surfaces and is rich in life and resources.For us land-dwellers, sea life is not something we see everyday or feel that can impact us in our day-to-day life. It does, and people need to know.
- Recycle so that my garbage doesn’t end up killing fishies 🙁
- Pick up litter so runoff does not pollute nearby streams
- In the Mediterranean Sea Turkish coast sometimes people unknowingly may injure baby blue fish which has decreased in quantity over the years because of pollution and such reasons. I believe by cleaning the Turkish coast e can make a large difference.

- Clean up as much plastic that i can on the local beaches.
- I went to The Florida Keys & The Bahamas for my college study abroad trip where I spent my days snorkeling the amazing coral reefs and learning how to protect the ancient environment. My professors believed that my generation could save their awesomeness. I’ve snorkeled in parts of the reefs that were bleached and barren. I learned how to create artificial reefs and study how the species responded to our interventions. I think the smallest act would be to experience the awesomeness of the reefs for yourself, because anyone who witnesses the beauty and the creeping despair would care enough to protect sea life.
- check labels of food you buy, and make sure its not endangered or threatened to be
- Drive my car less
- Don’t dump my trash into the ocean

- Spread awareness
- Clean up the beacjes
- As someone who loves the ocean and goes to the beach frequently, I have always found that just picking up trash at the beach when you see it can help so much. If everyone pick up a few things of trash at the beach the ocean wiuld see such a huge effect from it. And just picking up after yourself as well, whether youre on the beach, out in the ocean fishing, or anything. Just be clean!
- I eat no fish
- Everyday ways how we can help save sea life is not use plastic that meaning do not buy plastic water bottles, not use plastic bags from grocery stores.

- I start with the smallest acts. Recycle. Trim plastic rings. Ensure any waste goes to a proper facility to handle it. I also visit a beach three hours away and regularly pick up trash left on the beach. Just because we don’t live in the sea doesn’t mean we shouldn’t protect it.
- I like to cut up the plastic soft drink rings so sea life doesn’t get caught in it. I know that they are supposed to be photodegradable but they could still cause damage before becoming fully degraded.
- Turn off the faucet while brushing my teeth!
- Purchase products from Parley for the oceans, they recycle plastic from the oceans into products!
- Since I live so far from the ocean, there is very little I can directly do. But indirectly, my fiance and I are very conscientious of the types of chemicals we use for cleaning, as well as seeing to proper disposal of nasty chemicals that are sometimes unavoidable. This, we hope, prevents our indirect contribution to these kinds of toxins entering the ocean. We are but two people in a very small household, so this is but a mere minuscule contribution. But where we are, I think it’s the best we can do, and since it permeates our lifestyle, we hope that in the long run the contribution will be ever greater, if even still minor.
- The smallest act anyone could do to protect sea life would be to simply spread the word about how you can start helping: reduce pollution, stop putting toxins into the water runoff, clean up after yourselves, etc.

- When going on vacation in warmer climate (which is popular in my part of the world) avoid messing around the corral reefs while snorkeling/diving.
- Whenever I go out to the beach or even for a hike through the woods, We tend to bring with us a bag used specifically to pick up litter left behind by others. We understand that even when we are away from the ocean, streams and rivers all end up in the ocean. We understand that we can make a difference even from miles away from the ocean.
- Make sure soda can connector circles are cut so that sea life do not get entangled in them if they somehow make it into the ocean!

- You can tell your friends and family to raise awareness!
- Stop buying/drinking from plastic bottles.

- I never ask for new plastic bags and always reuse my own 🙂
- Recycle everything you can – especially plastics! 🙂
- Stop using microfibers and microbeads
- We should all be putting less food waste down the drain, as a large portion can get ejected into the ocean and disturb sea life.
- spread the word about protecting coral reefs
- When I used to go to the beach as a kid, my dad and I would always walk down the beach for 15 or so mins and catch up and talk and pick up trash. So much ends up in the ocean. Smaller than that though, would have to be stop using plastic water bottles and recycle more. Thank you 🙂
- My favorite thing the ocean produces is tide pools, small holes in rocks along the coast that are created when the tide goes out, leaving water and life trapped in the recess. Because of this they become their own isolated ecosystem until the tide comes back in and connects their world back to the ocean at large.
- I would remove trash and debris from these ecosystems so that they don’t become permanently trapped in theses tide pools. They have short enough lifespan as is, I wouldn’t want them to be any more dangerous or complicated than necessary.

- Donate to your local aquarium!
- So many small things can be done to protect marine life. Such as beach clean ups or even the refusal of eating wild caught shrimp. The shrimping industry uses one of the most detrimental fishing methods that has a lot of bycatch and creates dead zones on the ocean floor. Spreading awareness is also a small but helpful act. Being informed can go a long way in thinking critically.

- I hope i win for this amazing artisan…..i want to swim to get the corals …lol
- Don’t throw bitters to sea. Just take our bitters to our hone.
- I love far from the sea up in the mountains so the best I can do is to set a positive example by recycling.
- Clean up that absolutely massive garbage cluster.
- Dispose of cooking oil correctly
- These would look great next to my 720L reef tank in my office!
- Pick up litter at the seaside.
- recycling plastic
- Stop using single use plastic containers
- Give it tree fiddy
- Very simply: recycle.
- Stop using plastic bags in my groceries. Recycle all plastics.
- The rising of sea temperatures has caused devastation for coral and marine life, so one thing I (and everyone else) can do is to reduce our carbon footprint. This can be done by walking/cycling more to places, taking public transportation, using less A/C, and eating less meat.
- Keep plastic out of waterways
- I could cut the plastic rings that hold and support the six packs of pop bottles.
- Stop using plastic shopping bags
- Pick up garbage on the beach!
- I purchase bracelets from 4Ocean to clean up plastic!
- I try to always use a reusable water bottle, rather than plastic ones whenever possible. Plastics can end up as ocean debris that not only destroys habitats, but also can harm marine animals.
- I try not to buy products in plastic containers and if I do, I always recycle them. I also teach my kids to recycle.
- If you haven’t, watch “A Plastic Ocean” on Netflix. It’s so crazy the amount of plastic and trash that ends up in the ocean and inside animals.
- I’ve always been really interested in aquariums, and I’ve been thinking of starting one. Spreading proper information about their upkeep is pretty important, especially since so many people are mis-informed about the needs of fish.
- recycling all plastics and petitioning shore-laden cities/companies to not dump waste to the sea.
- Protecting the coral reefs is just a matter of getting people to care. Setting up more well-defined (possibly government sponsored) reserve areas and setting up boat tours to look at them will drive people to protect their natural beauty. Out of sight, out of mind is the killer of coral reefs, and we need to put them back in the spotlight.
- Thank you for the giveaway!
- Don’t litter and help collect garbage by the ocean
- Eat fish that are harvested in a sustainable way.

- Boycott SeaWorld. #FreeShamu
- Use public transportation to reduce my carbon emissions! Also, stop using products that contain microplastics.
- Pick up trash that I find on the beach
- I would make sure to dispose of waste properly. Such as various oils that can have immediately terrible impacts on both sea life and coral reefs.
- Pick up trash whenever you go to the beach.
- I live in Hawaii. Some things that I would like to see changed is littering. Littering anywhere on the island will find its way into the ocean and that harms sea life(turtles may eat plastic bags thinking it is jellyfish or get their head caught in the plastic six pack rings). By being mindful about the environment, we can save sea life from human negligence.
- Make sure trash gets into the trash can
- Stop using disposable water bottles and use a metal water bottle.
- Educate others about the marine life
- Don’t litter!
- I can reduce the use of all the liquid for cleaning home that ends in the sea.
- Avoid littering, especially plastic!
- Recycle and reuse plastic materials
- Reduce my purchasing of products with disposable plastic packaging
- Start using fewer plastic products! This will keep sea life from getting caught or hurt by plastics. Be aware of how trash or items are recycled.
- My dream is to build the worlds largest private organization whose sole focus and long term goal is to completely eradicate all litter from the earth. This includes forests cities and all water sources. It’s a noble and lofty goal and I plan on focusing on the oceans first in order to save sealife.
- I live by the beach, so whenever I go I try to leave it cleaner than when I arrived. If I pick up others’ trash, I’m helping protect all the animals in the local ecosystem from harmful chemicals and plastics.
- Be responsible with trash and don’t throw it in the ocean!
- Not wasting water
- spread the word about protecting our oceans
- Educating people you meet and spreading the effects of and on the coral reef is a small way to contribute to their conservation. Informing people that reducing water pollution, supporting coral relief organizations, using proper fertilizers that do not contain harmful substances that enter the waterway, preventing the dumping of waste into the water, and guiding proper tourism that doesn’t damage the reef (do not touch the reef with hands due to oil from hands being harmful) can all be ways to begin helping the coral reef and preventing its destruction. Another major factor is global warming which is contributing to the bleaching and destruction of the reef. Efforts in minimizing global warming by investing and converting to more eco friendly energy resources need to become a top priority in countries to save the reef and much of the earth. Talking with local government and having them contact higher jurisdiction can help make environmentally safe energy resources a top priority which will in turn help protect the reef.

- Stop using plastic bags for groceries
- Awareness.
- Adopting and spreading the message.

- Recycling plastic, and spreading the word about how terrible plastic microbeads are
- I don’t litter to protect sea life.
- Convince people carbon emissions contribute to warming of the seas which has caused vast swaths of beautiful reefs to disappear in just a handful of years.
- I teach young children not to throw their garbage anywhere and throw it in the garbage can/bin
- Do not use plastic bags, they often end up in the ocean, trapping and killing many animals.
- Looking at the question, I wasn’t sure what I could do, so I went online and looked up small things and learned a lot. I’d never considered releasing balloons to be an issue but of course the have to come back down somewhere, lots of the time that ends up being the ocean, where turtles and other wildlife swallow them mistaking it for food. Other acts like eating eco-friendly fish, avoiding one time use plastics, and supporting a healthy ocean through volunteer work and other acts of care. So if anything, I know a few things to avoid doing and can spread the word for and help even more on my trips to the coast 🙂
- Cut plastic can carriers, or even better, don’t buy cans that come in plastic carriers.
- Reduce use of plastic products and recycle and dispose of plastics in an environmentally conscious way.
- Don’t think just clean
- Reusable water bottle to stop using throwaway plastic bottles
- Not throwing trash near the beach/ocean or pick up any non-environment trash near the beach/ocean.
- Stop using microbead cleaning products such as exfoliating creams or showergels. They add harmful, tiny plastics to wastewater which is innevitably ingested by tiny or microbial life,
- Reduce my carbon footprint by leaving the car at home and biking more often.
- Stop flushing your leftover pills and medication. It gets into the water supply and really hurts all of the sea life.

- I live by the beach in Seattle and pick up trash there every weekend!
- Don’t use microbead products.
- Boycotting companies doing bottom fishing.
- Recycle trash from the beach (maybe not the smallest but a good one!)
- Two of the smallest acts are conserving water and not touching reefs if you dive. Mainly because inaction is the smallest form of action there is.
- I try to be conscious of what we rinse/pour down the drains. My girlfriend works in waterway conservation so I hear a lot about how what we throw out and back into the environment can cause issues in local streams/rivers, which eventually make their way to oceans, and then into the air as rain, lather rinse and repeat! I’ve also always dreamt of diving in the Great Barrier Reef, so I’ve always tried to find ways to keep it (and other reefs) vibrant and lively!
- Pick up trash when you see it
- Catch and release with family/friends. It’s not much, but we try to introduce people to lakes/oceans around us in a friendly and sporting way that frowns on pollution.
- Just pick up some trash!
- Not litter?
- Don’t eat fish
- I could choose not to use plastic glitter. Most glitter is made from microplastic that gets into the ocean and harms the many sea creatures that eat it.
- buy hat
- Stop littering and tell people to stop littering.
- I always to make sure to recycle my plastics to keep them away from the ocean
- I am a school teacher. I would like to work with my kids to raise awareness about the troubles faced by human waste and garbage and have them take ownership in the fight for the protection of sea life.
- Never litter.
- I am part of my local aquarium that rehabs sea life and releases it back into the ocean.
- The smallest thing i would do to protect wholesome marine life would be to stop littering and spread the word to everyone i know that plastic can seriously harm the ocean and it’s inhabitants. Also to spread the word about global warming and to raise awareness about the dwindling coral reefs, it’s not much but every little bit helps i hope.
- The smallest act I could do is probably putting trash in their proper bins and recycling whatever I can.

- I always cut the plastic sixpack rings when I throw them out. I also don’t use products that use plastic microbeads
- The smallest individual act would be to simply not litter. Litter kills the life in the ocean but also in general, littering usb harmful to all areas of the environment. On a grander scale, picking up litter you see and tossing it in the trash would help even more. If everyone did their part, the world would be much cleaner and happier.
- Reduce the amount of plastic products I use.
- Better at recycling!
- Stop using facial scrubs that have micro beads inside them. The small plastic beads get washed down the drain and back into the ocean where fish think it’s plankton and end up eating plastic.

- Make sure I only buy sustainable seafood.
- Use re-useable bags/packaging
- Stop using products with microbeads
- The smallest act I could do is go to the beach and pick up the trash that’s on the beach
- A very small act – which I bet would barely be noticed, is to cut out glittery Christmas decorations to reduce the amount of microplastics in the sea – which in turn will greatly benefit sea life, and in extension you!
- Not purchase 6 packs of soda with the plastic dohickeys
- Recycle plastic like bottle and bags. Bring them to recycle center.
- I help clean up the beaches in Florida whenever I visit my parents! We love the manatees and try to protect them!
- recycle
- The smallest act you can do to protect sea life or to throw away your rubbish. It would not then end up in the sea and hurt the life.

- Something I’ve always done, not litter.
- by Effort: never harming sea life I encounter, it is the smallest act to do no direct harm.
- by Lifestyle: learning to dive more efficiently so I remain in full control of my body while underwater, with full situational awareness of the world around me and capability to not harm it.
- by Size: saving that one super cute juvenile trunkfish that just wanted to derp in & out of some soft coral from going heading out to the wall.
- I can properly dispose wastes and help pick up litter from the ocean/beachsides.
- When I go to the beach I take a decomposable plastic bag and fill it with rubbish that I find to dispose of correctly. It’s not much but every little counts.
- Not litter in the ocean
- I could avoid using plastic bags as often, as they often end up in the ocean due to some trash being dumped in.
- Cut the plastic pop can holders in pieces. So dolphins don’t wear them as hats for the rest of their lives.
- Reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint
- Dont break off coral or touch coral when diving. It kills the coral slowly. Look but dont touch!
- Use environmentally friendly pesticides in my garden and reduce pollution by taking public transport.
- Poop less
- The smallest thing I can think of is picking up trash whenever you are at a beach. There’s usually cans everywhere but there’s still random junk scattered about.

- The best way to help the coral reef is to slow global warming and reducing car emissions by carpooling helps.
- Use less plastic!
- Dont litter on the beach!
- reduce everyday plastic usage
- Riding a bike instead of driving. Oil pipeline leaks and breaks have had devastating affects on our oceans and other water sources. Reducing the amount of oil each person consumes would lessen the “need” for such pipelines.
- Recycle properly so our plastics don’t end up until he ocean.
- The smallest act I can do is to donate money to organizations working to protect the coral reels, like the Coral Reef Alliance.
- Speaking as a graduate student hoping to specialize in green architecture, I can’t even describe how much this campaign means to me. Calling attention to important environmental issues through beautiful and thoughtful design is what I strive to do with my life and what you’ve done so elegantly here. Thank you for the message and the inspiration! Especially with these keycaps in mind, I can and will strive to learn more in my classes in hope of protecting not only sea life, but all other aspects of nature as well.
- I reduce the amount of plastic products I buy and recycle at every opportunity!
- PRevention (capitalization intended). Sadly, a lot of people aren’t aware of the massive problems that plague our waters and all their inhabitants, and how we damage them in our daily lives.
- Ideally, education would be mandated and instituted by the governments to help raise not only awareness, but also give actual tools of prevention to the masses, it would go a long way in making sure we don’t destroy the oceans and the life within any further.
- But since we cannot simply wait for politicians to agree on, well, anything, it falls on everyone else to spread the message to those not aware. Only then will the actual practical efforts have a chance in reversing the damages.
- Lastly, even if we think we know how to prevent and help, we can always learn new things. Reading about the current efforts and research on the matter can make a difference when we spread that knowledge to our fellow humans.
- P.s. also, maybe not encouraging or participating in the killing of said sea life in any way would do enormous amounts of good (excessive poaching, watching programs that promote animal cruelty, etc).
- I’ve stopped drinking water out of bottles due to the amount of plastic that goes into the ocean.
- Every time i surf I stuff a piece of trash in my wetsuit to help the ocean clean!!! im a huge advocate for keeping the ocean and nature trash free!!! i love that you are promoting the same thing. I also love these keys!!!!
- Probably donate to an organization because I live nowhere near the ocean.

- Drink tap water instead of bottled water
- Donate to preservation groups
- My family and I are trying to compost all our food scraps so less trash is dumped into the ocean.
- We can protect sea life by furthering education about the ocean. I work at one of the world’s best oceanography institutions (Scripps Institution of Oceanography), and have learned so much about the ocean. The ocean is the source of life for every living thing and people must be educated about how important preserving the ocean is. If we destroy our oceans, we destroy our world.
- Dont purchase products like glitter that are made of microplastics that pollute the ocean and end up being eaten by animals and cut the circle plastics on 6 packs of cans so animals dont get stuck in them if they make it into the ocean.
- Stop littering!
- I think one small thing is always cutting plastic can holders so they are less likely to get tangled on a creature of the sea. Thanks guys have a great day 🙂

- Reducing the amount of waste I make, so that some of it doesn’t end up in the ocean, and putting trash and recycling in the proper bins
- U do this when I go to the beach, bring a bag to the beach and clean up what I can wherever I walk!
- By donating as much money that I can to local sea life charities and research projects and by encouraging others to do so aswell
- I work at an electronics recycling centre. We do our part to mitigate tons of e-waste from hitting our environment, including our beautiful oceans. Go free geek Vancouver!

- I try to reduce the amount of plastic I use to prevent water pollution and protect sea life. Although I already use a reusable metal water bottle, I can further reduce plastic waste by avoiding disposable utensils when I eat.
- Make sure plastic doesn’t get to the ocean! Properly dispose of plastic items to keep our waters clean 🙂
- Lots of plastic like straws end up in the sea
- Reduce, Re-use, Recycle! Make an effort to avoid inorganic packaging, separate accordingly, be conscious and knowing of what things are, and where they’re going.
- Produce less garbage. (I know some countries dump their garbage in the ocean.)
- Instead of buying a plastic bottle everywhere you go, just have one nice reuseable one

- Not litter
- Recycle plastics
- cutting the plastic rings that come on 6 packs
- Spread awareness!
- Hello I’m Nick and I would love to win this giveaway to share with my older Brother who helped me build my First computer. I thought this was a great question and although I personally don’t live near any major bodies of water that contain coral reefs, I still think it’s very important to protect the environment that we live in. For instance, our local SRP was giving away free trees to plant but you had to do the labor, so I planted two trees for my family to help fight against global warming. And a small way I can help conserve and save Sea life is by reducing my waste by using reusable water bottles and metal straws to take with me to restaurants to cut down on plastics. Thank you for putting on this amazing giveaway; those key caps are beautiful and fun!
- Not use soaps with plastic microbeads
- Do not litter into the sea. Simple. But so many people do it still.

- Not standing on corrals
- Dont use plastic bags, bring a reusable bag or backpack to the supermarket every time and use it for years!
- Reduce plastic waste to keep it out of the sea
- I would use those edible soda can rings so that in the event that they do end up in the sea the wildlife can digest and eat them and turtles wouldn’t be harmed by mistaking them for jellyfish.
- I always take Info-Material about protecting reefs, sea to the maledives whenver i visit, so that tourists dont destroy things becouse they dont know what is the corrdct behavior.
- Recycle all plastic waste, cut up the plastic that holds together soda cans before tossing it.
- I donate monthly to the sea life trust.

- The smallest act I can do to protect sea life is to be mindful of where I throw my trash, especially whether it is recyclable, compost or waste. This will benefit the overall environment and prevent more harmful trash leaking to the sea.
- I could ride my bike to work more
- Forgoing seafood as the farming of marine animals all too often damages reefs (e.g. bottom trawling). Thanks so much for hosting!
- Always recycle and always vote for legislation that protects our environment.
- Leave it alone.
- You can recycle your garbage properly.

- Throw trash away in trash bins
- I always collect trash from the beach to help protect sea life. It only takes an hour here and there to make a huge difference 🙂
- Do not use bottled water, using a reusable thermos.
- I would say be mindful of what we throw away into the beaches, oceans, lakes, ponds, etc. Plastic bags can be harmful for any sea organisms as they can trap them or consume them (thinking they are jellyfish for example). Cans that come packaged with those plastic rings should always be disposed of correctly (i.e. cutting them so fishes, turtles, whales, etc. are not caught in them).
- No more products that contain micro plastics
- Not using disposable coffee cups and coffee pods!
- Dispose of rubbish correctly

- Don’t buy microplastics
- trying to use less plastic sounds always like a good first step
- Don’t flush medication down the toilet

- stop buying bottled water and use a water bottle to reduce plastic waste
- To not wash my car with any detergent that does any harm to the environment. Always research! These products will flow and eventually find its way to the water, no matter how far away you are from the ocean. The nature cannot break it down. The water system gets polluted and anything in the water is affected. One thing leads to another, and eventually it impacts our surroundings. The ocean is just that and it’s something precious and essential that we need to take care of! I can help, simply by choosing eco friendly products in the store. It’s a small thing but it helps a lot.

- Stop using plastic bags!
- Make a larger effort to recycle and use less plastic product
- I will press onward every day abd night to help our beloved sea buddies and help them fulfill their destiny
- Disposing of garbage properly
- Make sure to recycle all plastics and other materials that can be re-purposed. Make sure that your waste to properly disposed of and not handled by companies with bad practices.
- Use less plastic – I carry a reusable bag everywhere with me so if I buy something I don’t need the shop to give me a plastic bag.
- Smallest act that not only benefits the sea, but the world, is to RRR, or, reduce, reuse, and recycle <3

- Stop using soaps/shampoo that have those tiny plastic balls in them, they end up in the ocean and being eaten by the creatures who live in it.
- Drink out of glass bottles more
- When scuba diving you can always collect all trash you come across, keep it on you during the dive and bring it outside the water to properly get rid of it.

- Pick up trash at the beach
- Don’t buy a new cell phone, but make mine last as long as possible.
- One of the easiest and most effective ways to help protect sea life is to be mindful of our consumption and trash production. Cutting or reducing the use of disposable, one-use products that often end up polluting the ocean can make a difference.
- Reduce the amount of waste I produce
- Recycle plastics instead of throwing them in the trash.
- Making sure that trash is secured so that it does not find its way to the seas to cause harm to any sea life. Stay ecofriendly.
- The smallest act *I* could do is just stay away from the beach, I guess. I don’t feel like I’m actively harming it, and that would probably negate any chance of accidentally harming the sea as well. Sorry if this is a dumb answer.
- I could pick up garbage when I go to the beach.
- Recycle! too much trash ends up in our oceans 🙁
- Recycle plastics and stuff 🙂
- Use less disposable plastic

- Whenever I buy beverages, I make sure to cut the plastic that holds the bottles or cans so that sea life can’t become trapped inside of them and be harmed.
- There’s been a campaign recently to stop using straws with your drink order in fast food restaurants, in hopes of reducing plastic waste in our oceans. Plastic straws can have very negative impacts in our environment because they are hardly recycled, endanger marine life through ingestion and entanglement. By everyone refusing to use straws we may be able to convince restaurant chains to reduce or even stop serving straws all together, thus removing even a small percentage of plastic waste in our oceans.
- I donate money to my local harbor and bay to keep it clean and pick up all the trash! Don’t need harmful chemicals and debris in our water sheds and runoff

- Donate $$ in support of coral preservation and recovery efforts
- Recycle as often as possible!

- Stop using plastic bags at the supermarkets
- Help educate others on how important the ocean is to the entire Earth 🙂
- I do not eat any fish, as commercial fishing has depleted many areas across the globe of their natural biodiversity.
- Put my water bottle in the recycle bin instead of the trash
- Use less plastics
- Don’t use glitter
- Not use harmful sunscreen at the beach.
- Eating less red meat -> farms raising livestock for red mead produce a lot of greenhouse gases, which contributes to the warming and acidification of the ocean. Somewhat relatedly, although not cheap, I think more people should have experience maintaining saltwater aquariums, even small ones, to see how small shifts in the water chemistry can seriously impact the contained marine life. I personally have a “rescued” mantis shrimp – people usually return these to marine stores when they find them in their tanks because they are considered to be destructive, but I personally love my little Reef Guardian.
- Pick up rubbish on the beach.
- Use less plastic to help protect the ocean from polution
- The smallest act you can do to save the sea is to pick up trash or not fish as much.

- Do not litter. And teach others to protect sea life also as teaching multiplies the results.
- Ensuring plastics are disposed of properly, recycling what you can, and not littering.
- Dispose of my engine oil properly.
- recycle
- Recycling, reusing what you can and using proper garbage techniques.
- In my opinion, individuals need to be more educated and more aware of their surrounding environment: the ocean, the forests, the mountains, anywhere. Humanity has drifted far apart from nature for some time now because of all the technological advancements and working and higher standards of living, the only interaction with nature being visits to national parks or hikes and outdoor fitness. In order to truly understand the importance of organisms, such as coral and other marine life and vegetation, we should educate ourselves more on their roles in their respective ecosystems and, if the chance arises, immerse ourselves within their environments and take some time away from our hectic lives.
- I cook often. Both professionally and for my friends and family. Cooking oil is – to me – by far the most dangerous thing you can throw away because it WILL find its way to water and eventually affect sea life. I always make sure I dispose of any cooking oil I can get my hands on the right way!
- I will make sure to snip plastic six-pack holders in order to prevent marine life from getting stuck in them.

- Keep the beach clean
- Don’t use soap with microbeads
- Stop using plastic straws, and start using washable steel ones.
- Cut the rings on plastic 6 pack holders
- Greywater reusage; I’m located in Australia. Not far from the coral reefs, we need to stop polluting our waterways.
- Make my day even brighter, every day at work!
- Use reusable grocery bags instead of plastic. Likewise with reuseable water bottles, in lieu of plastic disposable bottles. Contributing less to the floating island of plastic in the Pacific Ocean. Also, not use sunscreen when swimming as the bleach in it kills coral.
- Going vegan. Mass fishery is greatly harming the oceans by unbalancing and destroying the ecosystems.

- If you’re in a country with access to clean water, use reusable water bottles, the fewer people who use disposable water bottles, the less plastic that gets dumped in the ocean
- Clean the shore next to my grand parent house during the summer.
- People throw so many things while they are on holiday and don’t realize how much they destroy the nature.
- The smallest act that could be done to protect sea life would be controlled fishing and not hunting for endangered fish species.
- Always cut the plastic rings that hold cans together so fish and stuff don’t get stuck in them =(
- Support local, fresh farms. Larger commercial farms use more pesticides that drain to rivers from runoff, which eventually lead to the ocean. These pesticides obviously harm sea life.
- Not use soap with the scrubby things in it
- Reduce the use of plastic in my household in favor of glass and wax/parchment paper. Plastics in the ocean is a long term problem that really isn’t being worked on at any government level that I’m aware of. Thanks.
- Recycle – if more trash is recycled, then less ends up in the ocean killing sea life. Also those plastic rings that come around six packs of soda and beer should be cut before throwing them out so that they don’t choke some poor sea creature.
- The smallest thing I can and already do is only using reusable bottles. The plastic bottles and containers you buy them in are thrown in the ocean and they can kill the sea life
- Became fully vegetarian 7 years ago – no more seafood.
- Stop using products containing micro plastics, such as glitter 💅🏻
- Whenever at the beach, one can clean up the litter on the shore.
- Stop asking for plastic bags
- The smallest act? Since I live near oceans, it is to never dump anything (garbage or otherwise) into the drains that say “LEADS TO OCEAN”. Pollution is a big problem for sea life and coral reefs.
- Recycling and properly disposing of trash, so it does not end in the ocean.
- I drink a lot of water every day. Instead of adding to the plastic waste that pollutes our rivers, lakes, oceans by buying plastic water bottles, I use a reusable Nalgene water bottle every day.
- Reduce my carbon footprint, in hope that everyone else can do the same, reducing global warming and thus reducing our damage to sea life
- cut up your six pack plastic rings!

- I could make a video to inspire others to protect sea life.
- Use less plastic so it wont end up in the oceans.
- Stop littering
- When I go to the beach i always look in the trash cans for the plastic 6 pack baverage containers and i rip each one of the loops open. People may think its gross that I look in the garbage but all it takes is a gust of wind or a curious sea gull to blow it into the ocean and put countless sea lives in danger.
- Recycle!
- When I get my divers license I will be joining the annual scrap collecting challenge on the west coast of Sweden. This way I can spread some information about the amount of trash that ends up in the sea.
- Clean up the waste and prevent oil spills!
- Stop throwing pieces of plastic to nature as they are prone to be washed all the way to the seas via rivers etc.
- Make the decision to drink tap water instead of drinking bottled water or other drinks that create waste that can lead to the ocean.
- Stopped using plastic bags a while ago and supporting the wwf to protect the oceans.
- Keep up your amazing work!
- I will use fewer plastic products!
- Recycling is always a great option to protect ocean wildlife and the coral reefs.
- A solid way to directly protect sea life is to reduce my carbon footprint in anyway possible. One way i do this currently is by carpooling to work and school. Another, but more indirect, way of protecting sea life is by spreading the word about the effects human action has on the ocean and the ecosystems within it.
- I don’t have the luxury of living next to the ocean but I do happen to love everything about it. I know there is nothing too small that help in anyway, but I think just by cleaning up trash is probably one of the smallest things to have such a huge impact on our oceans. Best of luck to everyone who enters!!

- Pick up trash on the ground outside. All of that will end up in the water eventually.
- clean up trash at the beach.
- Enjoy the sea life from home. Think of it as a look but don’t touch sort of thing

- be a respectfull human being and dont throw trash in sea
- Donate to an organisation that protects sea life

- I live in the middle of Canada so I can’t directly do stuff to protect sea life. But I will never let go of helium balloons near the ocean.
- I’ve done a few beach clean ups and will continue to do so. Unfortunately, it isn’t as complicated or sophisticated enough to save coral life, but I feel it’s a damn good start for someone who has little knowledge on the sea itself. Them beach cleanups are fun anyways, especially when you’re doing them in areas as beautiful as Laguna beach or Balboa.
- Bring public awareness to the impacts of global warming on our coral reefs!
- These are truly the most gorgeous keycaps I have ever seen. I have loved the ocean ever since I was a child, studied marine biology in college, and have maintained a reef tank since I was in high school. Keep up the beautiful work!
- Only eat fish that was cought in a durable way. Which is something I already do! 🙂
- Keep the environment clean by using less plastic. Use more recycle things.
- Avoid scuba diving at at risk locations. Cut the rings from six pack holder (the plastic circles)
- Reduce my foot print, stop buying bottle water drink from tap. And join local beach clean up exercises.
- Take your litter home with you when at the seaside.
- I could not litter in the ocean
- Never throw Q-Tips in the toilet.
- I try to reduce the amount of disposable plastics I use. Instead of using plastic bags at stores or buying disposable water bottles, I bring my own reusable bag and use my own water bottles that I fill at home/work. As I understand it, plastic pollution is a major problem in our oceans, and while it is a very small act, I at least like to think it helps a bit.
- Always pick up your rubbish at the beach!
- Recycle and pick up any litter on beaches or in the water that I see.

- I think the smallest things that people can do are to mind their waste they produce so that less ends up in our oceans (on a large scale, more projects need to be opened to clean up the waste that is already there).
- The other thing would be to reduce their consumption of overfished species.
- Smokers should dispose of cigarette butts properly. Also eat less meat.

- Not use glitter or microbeads.
- Helly there,
- the smallest thing I and everyone can do is to put our trash in the trash bin instead of losing it wherever we go. I we did that, trash in our ocean wouldn’t be such a huge problem in the first place! Collect trash, seperate it so it can be recycled and we’re pretty much set – besides collecting these huge masses of trash out of our oceans and the nature.
- I’d be happy to win one of your caps but if I don’t, well, I guess it made someone else happy, which is nice as well 🙂

- Support Elon Musk to decrease dependence on fossil fuels and keep ocean temperatures from rising.
- The smallest act I could do is avoid purchasing products with microplastics. The poor fish. 🙁
- I live in Australia and have been to the Great Barrier Reef a few times, and interestingly enough, one of the things you can do there is buy bits of coral from the reef. It sounds bad, but its all dead parts cut away because of the crown of thorns starfish are killing all the coral and spreading like crazy because of the warmer water. Divers go down and try to kill them and cut away dead bits of coral before it affects the rest of the reef.
- Not entirely related but I thought this would be interesting enough anyway 🙂

- Recycle more!
- I’ll use as little plastics or plastic products as possible in everyday life such as reuseable shopping bag, bringing own reuseable bottled water instead of buying plastic water bottles, stop chewing gum consumption, try to buy things which the packing comes from cardboard/glass instead of plastics, and many more in daily life.
- These plastic garbage would end up in the sea or ocean and may take hundred years to degrade. This is easily destroying the sea life due to the toxic that it contains and of course it is accidentally consumed by sea creatures.
- Less plastic for better sea!
- Thank you.
- Stop using water bottles & use a reusable bottle instead.
- We should not throw away trash in the sea.

- Don’t flush harmful chemicals down the toilet
- I think driving less, or using public transportation is the best small thing one can do to save sea life. Rising temperatures could harm sea life (like coral) and the only way we can even slow that is by reducing the amount of carbon we release into the atmosphere.
- I will put garbage bin across the sea coast so that people won’t throw garbage into the sea anymore.

- I am actually actively involved in protecting sea life! I help breed saltwater and freshwater fish to reduce the demand from the ocean. The more tank raised coral and fish that are available, the less are taken from the ocean. I have my own personal reef tank right on my desk that I love looking at it, and would absolutely LOVE to have one of these keycaps to enjoy as well. Thank you so much for creating such beautiful keycaps and raising awareness about the devastation facing our coral reefs.

Smallest act to protect sea life would be reducing plastic footprint, starting from segregating your rubbish, saving energy( live your RGB disco on your keb for special occasions only 😂 ), use fewer plastic products (I don’t mean keycaps! , just stop snacking on rubbish, cook more food yourself) and the most important of small acts would be…. Knowledge! Educate your self and question everything… Some things are very wrong, but because of they socially accepted we assume that this is how world works but it isn’t! Excuse my grammar and have a good one!

- Practice sustainable behaviour like recycling, using less plastic, opt for cleaner energy. Most waste goes to the ocean, and together we can make our ocean better by practicing sustainable behaviour in our everyday’s life
- Reducing the usage of single-use items. They’re all around us, from plastic shopping bags, to polystyrene foam takeout containers; to say “no thank you” to them when in a pinch requires a degree of mindfulness. Once discarded, they become a major contributor to the 8 million tons of plastic waste (the equivalent of approximately 5.1 billion full-sized Topre keyboards) that flow into the marine ecosystem every year. Investing in a reusable bag and tupperware containers is a great way to start. Too often, we put our own convenience above all, and the long-term effects of our choices are neglected, stowed at the back of our minds for a time that may come too late. The time to act is now, a small act becomes a movement when many partake in it.
- Also, I would recommend to anyone the book, ‘Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming’, it’s a cool read worth checking out!

- The easiest act that everyone can do is to stop filling the ocean with trash and toxins and if you are walking on the beach and you see a plastic bottle then take the time to pick it up. I personally would do everything against hunting whales and sharks for fins and hunting animals such as orcas for entertainment purposes which is so much against their nature.
- As silly as it sounds, I’ve cut up the plastic that keeps packs of beer together since I was small, I can’t remember exactly what started it but I must have seen something with fish being trapped by them and I’ve never been able to leave them alone.
- Use less plastic products.
- Buy eco friendly detergent!
- The smallest act that I could do to protect sea life is to always ensure that I put my rubbish in a bin, so that it can be disposed of correctly, rather than ending up in the ocean or sea life.
- I don’t use plastic bags in supermarkets anymore and try to reuse vegetables packing bags, too
- The smallest thing I could do is to tell others about protecting sea life, so that more people think about their actions and their impact on the environment.
- Use reusable water bottles.
- although I live in a country that has no sea near it(austria) I can help by reducing my metal/plastic waste by buying less soda cans and most importantly not using plastic wrapping
- Recycle plastics
- Stop littering
- By rejecting plastic bags when shopping and using fabric shopping bags instead.
- recycle
- Reuse the bags that’s my key caps are supplied in
- Picking up litter
- Reduce pollution by cutting down on wastage
- The smallest act to protect sea life is not going to the sea . It sounds weird , but let mother nature do her job . I’m pretty sure she is better than us at caring about the sea and handling problems
- the smallest act would be not throwing stuff into the sea
- poor sea 🙁
- Recycle! Each year countless tons of plastics are dumped into the ocean, having drastic impacts on coral and sea life.
- Clean my waste everytime i go to the beach 😀
- No throwing plastics into the ocean.
- I am a scientist involved in molecular biology research that might one day be useful in helping coral buffer itself against the rising acidity of the sea
- Stop using plastic utensils and straws everyday.
- Help not contribute to pollution by recycling and conserving.
- Pick up other people’s rubbish
- The smallest act that I can do to protect the sea is to always dispose of my rubbish properly so that it does not end up floating in our beautiful waters.
- not litter
- Don’t litter and keep the water clean.
- Hello! Thanks for doing this. Marine life is so important.
- Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to help greatly. I have stopped buying plastic bags in the past year, as the sea litter is increasingly alarming.
- I think appreciating our oceans more will help. Bringing more people to the seas or to ethical aquariums will doubtless encourage others to help in whatever way they can.
- Keep up the great work! SAVE THE SEA LIFE!
- We separate all our garbage in house and even out house!
- switch to sustainable seafood
- Stop using cleaning shower products with microbeads.
- Stop people drom littering in the beach
- Stop eating seafood 🙂
- Taking care of our beaches and minding my carbon footprint!
- Not buying plastic bottles
- Use backpacks instead of plastic bags
- Use less plastic
- Cut the plastic that keep the cans together before throwing it
- I live very far from any ocean, so I’m not sure. Maybe the next time I’m vacationing at the sea, I could pick up some trash from around the beach.
- I bought an nice Parley ultra boost 3.0 as an act of supporting sea conservation made by Adidas and Parley company.
- As a Scuba instructor, a big part of my job is encouraging my students to protect marine life both while they are underwater and when they are on land. One thing I encourage them to do is to limit use of single use plastics, especially plastic straws. Living without plastic straws is a tiny sacrifice to make but can have a huge impact in how much deadly plastic ends up in our oceans. Just think about how many straws we use and throw out in a year! It’s a lot of waste for very small benefit so why not simply stop sucking?
- I think I could legitimately stop using plastic bags this year. I only do use them when I’m lazy and forget a reusable bag. Other than that, I already don’t eat seafood.
- Save energy. Climate change not only affects the air temperature, but the oceans as well.
- Stop using disposable plastic water bottles!
- Create Waste-To-Energy Plants and lobby for them so we could reduce the amount of trash that goes into landfills and the ocean!
- I use Gen-Cup for drinks and I don’t use product of skincare which is inculde microbeads.
- Stop using plastic bags. I live near the ocean in CA and it has made a major impact.
- Stop throwing plastic waste out to the sea <3
- Do not use disposable plasstics, like plastic bags. Instead, buy and reuse glass or metal containers, that will last a lifetime if treated properly and have a much lower environmental impact.
- Eat beef instead 🙂
- Recycle all plastics.
- The smallest act I can do is to make sure to recycle and reuse more of the things that I consume so that they do not potentially go to pollute the seas.
- Reduced plastic usage
- Thank you! I try not to bring plastic-related stuff when I go to the beachs and leave the place clean/intact.
- Cut open plastic can holders so if they wind up in the ocean after being discarded, they cannot trap marine life.
- I volunteer to clean up rivers in the North East US and raise awareness on how irresponsible usage of fertilizers and pesticides can have detrimental effects on the ecosystems of the rivers and the oceans that the rivers drain into.
- So the smallest act I could do is have a conversation with someone about that.
- Stopping the polution of the oceans. So that reefs like the ones represented in the keycaps you made, have a chance to provide home and life to the creatures that would normally exist there.
- There’s so many. I know that the 6-pack beverage rings are harmful to birds but also sea animals like tortoises as well. I cut the rings before tossing them into the recycling bin.
- I could make donations to the conservation of sea life and reefs
- not throwing trash into sea
- My wife and I love snorkeling and spending time in the ocean when we travel abroad (she is from Saigon) Whenever we go spend time around corals, we make sure other tourist are conscious of where they are and not to step on the sea life!
- Just want to say I Love the work you guys do and it is really cool you are based in Vietnam. I visited Ho Chi Minh City about 6 years ago and it was amazing. I will never forget my time traveling through the streets on a scooter!
- I’m studying to become a marine biologist at FSU, while I won’t be focused on coral, I’m sure I’ll go diving again to pick up trash near the coast of Florida.
- Our Co2 emissions are currently killing huge parts of coral reefs all over the world. By choosing climate friendly options, for example electric cars over diesel, one can help save sea life.
- reduce everyday plastic usage
- Drive less
- I would now throw trashes into the ocean. This helps to keep all living things under the water alive.
- I clean up the beach area around me every time I go. If there are wrappers or cigarettes, I put them in a bag and take them to the garbage.
- Donate to charities who employ those with expertise in the field.
- I live in Washington, DC and I frequently go to community cleanup events along the Potomac river as well as the Chesapeake Bay. Marine life is special to the worlda and we need to treat it as such.
- I think one of the best ways to do it would be to go clean up the beaches by picking up all the trash, this is coming from someone who lives pretty close to the coast, and I think that a lot of wildlife is affected by all this debris.
- Go on Twitter, tweet about “hopes and prayers” for all the sea life.
- Convince my friends to stop using daily contacts as they waste a lot of plastic!
- I could clean up trash on the beach.
- Ideally, the smallest act I could do that would hopefully have a large impact would be simply reminding everyone how we wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for sea life and the Earth in general. The Earth is quite literally what we need to survive.. and we’re destroying it? We have people with large titles and large amounts of power running the Earth, making decisions that will increase the rate of climate change, leading to the destruction of our own planet. They all do it for money. Money doesn’t matter when none of us are alive.
- clean up beach so it’s cleaner than when i arrived
- I like to scuba dive and the smallest act I could do to protect sea life is recycling.
- Reduce the amount of plastic I use every day so it doesn’t end up in the ocean as trash
- Collect floating trash from the ocean to protect the sea life from plastics
- Minimize the amount of disposable plastic in my life to reduce the already staggering amount in our oceans.
- I pick up any trash I find on the beach when I’m out running.
- Use a reef-safe sunscreen when swimming in tropical oceans!
- I use my bike whenever i can to avoid any more ocean acidification
- Recycle plastic bottles.
- I will make people aware if littering in the sea and beaches
- Stop using styrofoam, and stop using individually packaged items.
- I would teach both my kids to respect the Earth’s oceans and ensure our waste doesn’t go into the oceans.
- I always cut the plastic rings on Soda carriers and recycle plastic bags. I have been diving in Hawaii and learned a lot about conservation 🙂 Plus I have a SeaCap with a Whale Shark!
- Spread awareness through websites and social media.
- Cut each ring in a plastic six pack can holder so that it can’t get stuck on any sea animal.
- Ensuring that you aren’t throwing trash into the sea.
- Recycle responsibly and not litter.
- Stop buying bottled water!
- Stop using plastic bottles.
- The smallest act would be to put a coral themed key on my keyboard I use everyday to spread awareness.
- Pick up just 1 plastic bottle from the beach. If everybody body did it, we’d never have a problem with litter
