Saving the Blue Heart

What can I do for the ocean? What can I do to eradicate plastic? If questions like these have ever ran through your head, you’re in the right place. Saving the Blue Heart was started to encourage people of all ages to educate themselves and spread awareness about the ongoing threats to the ocean.

Saving the blue heart aims to strive to enlighten like-minded peers and adults from all over the world to make change right from their homes. Saving the Blue Heart is a space for individuals to learn, develop sensitivity, exchange information and help save the oceans.

Here’s how you can help the oceans from the comfort of your home. If you’re here, you’ve most likely thought about going for ocean cleanups or researching about what’s been going on. Here, we’ll give you all the resources, tips and information about plastic pollution in the oceans, as well as other information about the environment.

1. Educate yourself on the topic: There’s a difference between wanting to support something and being passionate about it. If the latter is what your ideologies relate to, then great! We have posts on STBH regularly. Read about what impact plastic has on the earth, how it ends up in the oceans and what you can do about it.
2. Act, your way: By this, we mean do your part first and then tell other people about it. Find out if your family recycles and make sure to do your part.
3. Spread Awareness Online: Post about this on Instagram and tag us. Your main objective should be to make sure that other people are made aware about this, so that we can act together.
4. Start your own website or blog: If you are interested in writing about the issue and communicating about it with your words, start blogging. This is one of the reasons why we’re writing too. To make an impact on our readers. Make sure to be consistent with your posts though!
5. Spread Awareness in-person: There are so many ways to do this. Begin fundraising and start drives, communicate with the younger section of your community. In our inital stages of this blog right now, we are trying to do such things to make an impact on our community about something we care about.
6. Find like-minded people and websites: They say that great minds think alike. Find out if anyone in your community is organising drives and doing their part. Ask them about what you can do. Trust me, it helps.
7. Participate: And last but not least, participate in drives and fundraisers about ocean pollution, or simply donate to charities that are actually doing something about this (I have a list coming up on that topic soon, so stay tuned).

So yes, sitting at home, you can still save the oceans if your head’s in the right place. Do your part, and fast, because we do not have much time left!
