ACTIONS ARE TRACKED THROUGH OUR BACKEND SYSTEM WHERE OUR TEAM MANUALLY ACCEPTS OR DECLINES STUDENT SUBMISSIONS. THIS PROCESS ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE DIRECT FEEDBACK AND SUPPORT TO YOUTH ACROSS THE GLOBE.OUR IMPACT ON EDUCATORS DURING THIS GRANT PERIOD WAS EQUALLY INSPIRING! IN 2023, WE HOSTED 13 EVENTS INCLUDING: UPLIFTING POLICY UPDATES TO INSPIRE YOUR STUDENTS, THE STORY OF PLASTIC CLASSROOM GUIDE WALKTHROUGH, NAVIGATING ECO-ANXIETY IN THE CLASSROOM, MEET AND GREET WITH CAPTAIN MOORE, AND MORE! ALL EVENTS ARE RECORDED AND CAN BE VIEWED ON OUR EVENTS PAGE. DURING THIS YEAR, WE AWARDED 8 EDUCATOR MINI-GRANTS, AND CELEBRATED THEIR STORIES WITH SPOTLIGHT POSTS THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE COMMUNITY NEWS SECTION OF OUR WEBSITE. OVER 81 EDUCATORS WERE NOMINATED FOR THE AWARD DURING THIS GRANT PERIOD. OUR TEAM DISTRIBUTED 250 FREE TOOLKITS TO EDUCATORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WHICH HAVE INDIRECTLY REACHED 30,000 STUDENTS.

COVERING ALL CORNERS OF THE COMMUNITY, THE COALITION QUICKLY GOT TO WORK IN ENVISIONING A CITY-WIDE ACTIVATION THAT BROUGHT TOGETHER DOZENS OF LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ENCOURAGED LONG TERM USE OF REUSABLES CUPS, BAGS, AND OTHER CONTAINERS IN ORDER TO REDUCE POLLUTION AND WASTE CAUSED BY SINGLE-USE PLASTICS. THUS, THE FIRST ANNUAL BYO WEEK IN LONG BEACH WAS BORN! ALIGNING WITH THE EFFORTS OF ZERO WASTE OCTOBER, THE COALITION DEDICATED AN ENTIRE WEEK (SEPTEMBER 29 OCTOBER 7) TO PROMOTING REUSE AND BYO ACROSS OUR BELOVED CITY OF LONG BEACH. ALL WEEK LONG, COMMUNITY MEMBERS BROUGHT THEIR REUSE CONTAINERS TO PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES AND ATTENDED REUSE CENTERED EVENTS FOR STAMPS TOWARD EPIC PRIZES. THE FIRST ANNUAL BYO WEEK WAS INSPIRING TO SEE SO MANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES EXCITED TO CHAMPION REUSE WITH US. WE LEARNED THAT ONE WEEK WAS TOO SHORT OF A DURATION FOR MANY, SO WE PLAN ON EXTENDING THE EVENT TO THE ENTIRE MONTH OF OCTOBER IN 2024. SO, BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR UPDATES AS WE GET CLOSER! IN THE MEANTIME, RESIDENTS CAN SUPPORT REUSE BY PARTICIPATING IN OUR STICKER INITIATIVE. WHEN A PARTICIPATING BUSINESS HAS THE LB REUSES STICKER IN THEIR WINDOW, CUSTOMERS KNOW THAT THEY CAN OPT TO BRING THEIR REUSABLE CONTAINERS RATHER THAN TAKING A SINGLE-USE PLASTIC OPTION. WE NOW HAVE OVER 50 PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES AND THE LIST CONTINUES TO GROW! ALSO THIS YEAR, OUR ZERO WASTE REFILL STORE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BYO LONG BEACH REACHED OVER 2,000 COMMUNITY REFILLS AND OVER 900 REUSABLES ITEMS WERE SOLD! 22147 RESEARCH: IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR SISTER ORGANIZATION, MOORE INSTITUTE FOR PLASTIC POLLUTION RESEARCH, WE CONTINUED ANALYSIS OF OUR NORTH PACIFIC GYRE LONG-TERM MONITORING SAMPLES.
