🌊 A Young Guardian of the Gulf Making a BIG Difference! 🌊
We have a very special young steward of the environment who caught our eye! He has taken the Guardians of the Gulf Challenge to heart!
With the help of his dad, Barrett McLemore has been faithfully collecting trash in Pensacola and sharing his progress on social media proving that you are never too young to make a difference. His enthusiasm for protecting our environment makes him a natural spokesperson for his generation and an inspiration to us all.
It is our honor to recognize Barrett as an Honorary Young Spokesman for Guardians of the Gulf! 🏆
As a special thank-you, Barrett we are sending you a Guardians of the Gulf swag bag! Tag us at wearing your shirt in your next environmental post and inspire others to take the initiative next level to reduce microplastics.
We also want to thank his parents for raising such a thoughtful and responsible young man, encouraging his love for the environment, and helping him turn that love into action.
Now, Barrett, we need your help challenging others! Encourage your friends, classmates, families, and communities to pick up trash, share photos of what they collect, with the weight of it and tag their posts with for a chance to win a Guardians of the Gulf swag bag of their own!
Let’s make this challenge go viral and inspire a wave of young Guardians throughout our communities! 🌊♻️. See more of his videos in the comments!
At ONE GULF ONE GOAL, our mission is to reduce plastic pollution, protect the waters and marine life of the Gulf, promote conservation and sustainability, and inspire the next generation to become responsible stewards of our coast.
Protect Our Waters. Pick Up Plastic. Preserve Our Future.
Be a Guardian of the Gulf. Clean the Gulf. 💙🌊
