ABOUT OUR MISSION
Our mission is to make the ocean clean again. But we can't do this alone! The ocean is really big (71% of the Earth's surface)! We are just two people-there's no way we can clean it up by ourselves. We need help from you! We raise awareness of how much we are harming our ocean every day. We ask that when you see this website, if you support our mission, please send it to 5 more people (one for each of the 5 oceans) to spread the word. We hope that if enough people learn about this we can change the world. But do not be discouraged! If this project does not reach as large a scale as we wish, it will not be a failure. Your donations and support may save one sea turtle. 30 other people could save 30 more turtles. It may not be enough to revolutionize the world, but the lives of those 31 turtles will be forevermore changed for the better. If you support our mission, follow us on Instagram @begreenbeblue. ABOUT US Our names are Annie Winkelman and Vaishnavi Katragadda. We are 7th graders at Hanes Magnet Middle School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. When we were assigned a problem/solution project where we had to research a problem in the world and create a solution that would make an impact on the world, we decided to do the topic of the effects of pollution and litter on aquatic wildlife, figuring that it would be interesting. The more involved we got in it, the more passionate we became. Now we always think about the effects on the environment every time we throw something away. |
