Dear Community Partner:

Greetings !

In our modern globalized world, growth continues to be the focus of many corporations
who deplete our environment for economic gain. The real problem is the way people
think. We have turned our backs on nature's warning signs. We are totally living in
disharmony with the planet and we are paying the price. We believe that our actions are
based on our level of awareness. To win this battle to change people's minds and hearts
is actually a matter of lifting levels of awareness.

The Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary in cooperation with Subic Bay Metropolitan
Authority and The Lighthouse Marina Resort Legacy Foundation (LMRLF) has been
working hand-in-hand in creating a movement that will Start a Sea of Change to save
and protect our environment.

ICC is the worlds largest volunteer effort that is celebrated every 3rd Saturday of
September with over 540,000 volunteers from 91 countries and locations around the
world. In fact, the Philippines was ranked 1st in the world with the most number of
participants which reached more than 250,000 volunteers in 2015. The ripple effect of this
wave for change is seen in numbers, but our goal doesnt stop there!

While beach cleanups alone cant solve the ocean trash problem, having allies to help us
fight the exploitation of our planet, plays an integral piece to the overall solution which is
about changing peoples behavior. It may seem like an impossible task but as long as
there are people willing to make a change, there will always be a chance for a better
tomorrow.
