- Reduce
the amount of litter in Dade County''
beaches, waterways, parks, islands and
wetlands;
- Increase
the county’s residential and business
recycling rates;
- Preserve
and restore our sensitive ecosystems,
such as near shore coral reefs, beach
dunes, islands, mangroves, and Biscayne
Bay waters.
- Encourage
community members to adopt new lifestyle
practices that are more environmentally
sustainable.
In order to address these
and other environmental challenges the community
faces each year, ECOMB strives to promote
better interactions between residents, visitors,
businesses and government agencies. ECOMB
believes that by educating and encouraging
them to get involved and act responsibly
regarding the environment we live and work
in, we will be able to improve our quality
of life, save local government' resources,
live more sustainably and, thus, preserve
our environment for generations to come.
By working closely, and in partnership,
with both local and national nonprofits
and corporations, local volunteer groups,
schools and government agencies, ECOMB organizes
beaches, islands and canals cleanups, environmental
educational seminars and eco-sensitive awareness
events each year.
