A 10-Year-Old's Wisdom Inspires Hope for Our Island

-
Happy Ocean committee members had the pleasure of meeting Connor Fitzpatrick, an inspiring 10-year old boy, at the Happy Ocean Beeswax Wrap DIY night on June 14th. We were so impressed by the changes he is proposing and implementing at his school that we wanted to learn more. We did an interview with him right then and there on the spot. Connor's ideas, passion and enthusiasm for protecting our environment and making a difference, one choice at a time is impactful. Take a moment to watch his interview: A 10-Year-Old's Wisdom Inspires Hope for Our Island.


We applaud Connor's incredible efforts and Happy Ocean will definitely keep in touch with him as his ideas and actions are further implemented. Thank you Connor, you are an inspiration!

Do you ever notice the pile of trash that is left over when you're done with your take-out meal? Our "throw-away" lifestyle has created tons of waste from single-use products that we use for just a few minutes. The environmental impacts on the planet from all the single-use items are enormous. For example: the average useful life of a "to-go" paper coffee cup, with the lid, the sleeve, the stir stick, and even the tray to hold it is 12 minutes! American consumers use 130 billion paper cups each year for coffee. That disposable coffee-cup habit uses 27 billion gallons of water, consumes 25 million trees, and generates 31 billion pounds of CO2. In Canada, nearly 90 percent of plastics end up in landfills, incinerators, lakes, parks and oceans. We can do better! We are determined to keep fighting for a cleaner and healthier world, and that’s why we are joining Plastics Thursday of the Waste Reduction Week, and we encourage you to do it with us!
