Volunteer Spotlight - Carol-Lynne Michaels
| What’s your favourite outdoor activity? | Hiking or walking alongside the ocean. |
| How long have you volunteered with Surfrider? | 3 years |
| Why did you become involved? | Stacy White suggested I get involved, so I gave a short talk at a chapter meeting about my choice and challenges taking on a lifestyle that avoids plastic. After meeting everyone and finding out more, I wanted to support Surfrider more actively. |
| What was the last SFVI event you attended or volunteered at? | Either the film screening of The Clean Bin Project and panel discussion—or when we went to city hall for the Ban the Bag campaign. |
| What is your favourite SFVI event/activity? | Definitely the OPEN CINEMA-style film screenings with post-film panel discussions. |
| What is the #1 thing you are doing to save our oceans? | Refusing and not buying plastic, single use disposables and choosing to refill, reuse, repair and buy less. |
| What is your #1 tip to reduce single-use plastic use? | If you forget your small cloth or mesh bags for bulk or produce shopping, walk over to the bakery or mushroom section and grab a brown paper bag for your grains and goodies. |
| Name a local business you support because of their environmental practices? | Ingredients Café and Community Market |
