"There is hope. There is a path out there. Let's make the change happen now." We're with you @DaniNierenberg, we love Markus Eriksen's positivity! @leaplabglobal @5gyres @FoodTank #WorldOceansDay #OLSxWorldOceansDay


"We have evidence that we can make progress. This issue is NOT too big. You will see us take steps. It's not too late, but it's scarily late." -@DanSimonsSays #OLSxWorldOceansDay #WorldOceansDay #plasticpollution


"Pay attention to those federal bills. Call your local members of congress and ask them their stance." -@ChelliePingree #OLSxWorldOceansDay #WorldOceansDay #EndPlasticPollution


Some chatter currently happening from our attendees: "It’s super helpful to get new ideas of how we can make an impact as individuals. Sometimes it can feel helpless knowing the impact that big businesses have on the environment..." #OLSxWorldOceansDay #WorldOceansDay @FoodTank


"One thing diners can do: find new fish to be freinds with. For example, we serve Chesapeake Blue Catfish in our restaurants. It's invasive and delicious." -@DanSimonsSays @FoundingFarmers @FarmFishBakeDC #WorldOceansDay


"Starting out with skipping the straw can lead to remembering your reusable bag which can lead to calling your representatives to make change." -Maggie Ostdahl @NatlAquarium #OLSxWorldOceansDay #WorldOceansDay


"This is an issue that requires international cooperation." -@ChelliePingree #PlasticPollution #OLSxWorldOceansDay #WorldOceansDay


When it comes to what we can do in re: to #plasticpollution : "People & companies have way more power than they realize. Ring the bell to ur HR department. Tell them the amount of plastic pollution the company produces is impacting you." -@DanSimonsSays #OLSxWorldOceansDay


"We should always be thinking of seafood as a partnership. The ocean has been so generous to us, and we're asking it to do more and more every day." -Sarah Schumann, Fisherwoman #WorldOceansDay #OLSxWorldOceansDay
