Together In Defense of Earth

The Problem
Our beaches are drowning in plastic. Every tide brings in more trash, more toxins, and more damage that most people never notice. Bottle caps buried in the sand, fishing line wrapped around wildlife, microplastic dust that never disappears. If we don’t step in, the ocean pays the price, and eventually, so do we.

What T.I.D.E. Does
T.I.D.E. is our coastline defense movement. We organize beach cleanups across cities and islands, bringing volunteers together to restore the shoreline and protect the water. Anyone can join. Anyone can host. Every cleanup leaves the coast better than we found it.

How It Works
Volunteers meet at the chosen beach. We hand out bags, gloves, and simple instructions. Teams spread out along the shoreline and pull as much debris as possible from the sand. Everything collected is sorted, weighed, and recycled or disposed of properly. Local coordinators track the progress and report the impact so people can see the difference they made.

How Your Donation Helps
When you donate to the T.I.D.E. Initiative, you keep the movement alive. Your support helps us cover food and drinks for volunteers so they can work safely and stay energized. It pays for gloves, bags, grabbers, and protective equipment. It helps transport collected waste to proper recycling centers, especially in areas where infrastructure is limited. It allows us to set up water stations, shade, signage, and all the small details that make each cleanup safe, organized, and welcoming.

Your donation also fuels what comes after the work is done. As T.I.D.E. grows, each cleanup will evolve into an OWO pop-up music event. Volunteers clean the beach, then come together for a free show on the sand. Contributions help us provide the sound, lights, permits, and the atmosphere that turns service into celebration. You’re not just funding a cleanup, you’re building a culture.

Why It Matters
Clean beaches aren’t just beautiful, they protect marine life, reduce toxins in the water, and strengthen the health of entire coastal communities. Every bag collected is a small victory for the planet, and every donation makes the next victory possible.
