I am raising $2,000 to support the use of BeBot, a solar-powered beach-cleaning robot, in Dana Point, California. Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats facing our ocean today — millions of pieces of plastic enter the sea every year, harming marine life, damaging ecosystems, and even entering our food systems.

What makes this challenge even more urgent is that much of this waste begins on our beaches — often buried beneath the sand, unseen but incredibly harmful. BeBot is designed to address this problem at its source, detecting and removing hidden debris such as plastic, glass, and other dangerous waste before it can reach the ocean.

By supporting this campaign, you are not only helping to clean beaches — you are helping to protect marine life, preserve ecosystems, and prevent pollution before it becomes a larger, invisible problem.

This is about more than removing waste. It is about rethinking how we care for our environment, using innovation to create real solutions, and taking action to protect the ocean we all depend on.
