Hey there! Have you ever thought about how we can protect our oceans? 🌊 In Zhejiang province, China, a group of retired fishermen are doing something amazing! 🚣♂️💕
These fishermen, all over 60 years old, used to rely on the sea for their jobs. Now, they’ve come together to take care of the ocean they love so much. How? With something called the “Little Blue House” initiative! 🏠💙
Scattered along the coastline, these Little Blue Houses are special collection stations. The fishermen gather there to collect and recycle marine waste—things like plastic bottles and old fishing nets that pollute the sea. 🐠🌍
Guess what? They’ve helped collect a whopping 16,000 tons of marine waste! That’s like the weight of over 2,500 elephants! 🐘😲
By working together, these retired fishermen have become true guardians of the sea. They’re showing us that everyone can make a difference, no matter their age. So next time you’re at the beach, remember to pick up any trash you see. Let’s all help protect our oceans! 🌊💪
