\nThe amount of waste in the world\u2019s oceans is increasing at a rapid pace, with much of it cluttering the seabed and clogging up the stomachs of sea creatures. For ocean lovers, Spodak Dental Group\u2019s Annual Beach Cleanup event brings an opportunity to ensure Delray\u2019s waterways and oceans stand a fighting chance against increasing numbers of debris and waste.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe beach cleanup is all about awareness, and we\u2019re proud to be creating that in our community,\u201d said Dr. Craig Spodak, owner and general dentist. \u201cThere is so much opportunity to be an environmental steward in our community, and to encourage local businesses and community members to do so as well, and it\u2019s great because we all benefit from a clean beach.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spodak Dental Group partnered not only with the Palm Beach County Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, but also other local businesses including Delray Beach Water Sports, Caloosa Water Wear, Pizza Rustica and Saltwater Brewery. Together the teams were able to collect cigarette butts, single-use plastic bags, paper and plastic cups, plastic cartons, and more.<\/p>\n
The statistics speak for themselves. More than 1 million plastic bags are used worldwide every minute, with estimates pointing toward 160 million metric tons ending up in the ocean by 2025. This is the eighth event that Spodak Dental Group has hosted and the team is dedicated to cleaning their local beach for many years to come.<\/p>\n
