“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” We’ve all heard the tired cliché. TikTok adventurer Sarah would like to alter that message a bit. She picks up trash while beachcombing in the Pacific Northwest. One of the things she has noted is that “One man’s trash might be a sea critter’s home.” She asks us to be cautious and remember this warning as we collect beach trash. @pnwadventures.with.sarah one person’s trash might be somethings home! during underwater cleanups its always very important to check bottles being brought up. small octopus tend to find them as perfect habitat. #pugetsound #upperleftusa #livingmybestlife #pnwadventures #pnwlife #octopus #underwatercleanup ♬ original sound – Nostalgia Library The example Sarah shows fans is an old bottle that has become the home of a little octopus. There have been hermit crabs using cups and old soda bottles as makeshift abodes. Sarah wants everyone to be conscious of the trash and continue to work on removal and cleanup efforts, but also ensure you’re not discarding sea animals. On land, small animals will also make use of trash for housing. Mice frequently find discarded soda bottles and cans. Cats and kittens can always find an empty box. Opossums will hide in leaves and debris that collects in corners. Sarah’s warning about beach trash is also a request for others to remain conscious of the environment. Although most animals can look after themselves, they don’t understand the concept of trash and may make their home in an inappropriate location. Cleaning up trash in and around our oceans is an important part of caring for our environment. National advertisement campaigns warn us to cut soda bottle rings and recycle to protect wildlife. We only have one planet. If you would like to learn more about Sarah’s Pacific Northwest adventures, follow her on TikTok. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
