ECO SWIM BY AQUA GREEN eco swimwear made from recycled water bottles and other eco friendly materials is co-hosting a beach cleanup on Saturday June 1st, 2013 at the Cherry Grove Boat Launch in North Myrtle Beach, SC.
The beach cleanup is co-hosted by retail partner Belk, Inc., marine and wildlife conservationist Guy Harvey, and sustainable apparel and beach cleanup company United By Blue.
From 8:00 am to 11:00 am volunteers from the local community will come together to clean up their own backyard. Open and free to the public, the cleanup will provide a fun way to make a positive and tangible impact for local waterways.
ECO SWIM believes the cleanup encourages business collaboration, community development, and environmental awareness. The partnering companies share the same vision for a better planet and have come together to create meaningful action that gives back to the community and the environment.
Last year ECO SWIM BY AQUA GREEN removed over 3 tons of trash from oceans and waterways nationwide through beach cleanup partnerships like the one to be held Saturday. ECO SWIM is proud to partner with Belk, a staple and model of southern style and sustainable apparel development.
In accordance with its mission to fund and support marine-based community outreach programs, the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation is donating a free Guy Harvey t-shirt to the first 100 volunteers on site. Additionally, the GHOF is also mobilizing local members from Guy Harvey’s 15,000-strong ‘Hammerhead Nation’, a group of Guy’s most dedicated and passionate fans.
