43. From Shorelines to Showers – Protecting Water with Everyday Choices
In Episode 43 of Coast To The Heart, Aimee and Andee dive into the deep end—literally. They reflect on their personal connections to water, from beach cleanups to heartbreaking ocean encounters, and spotlight how our daily choices impact marine life. Inspired by their recent trip to Hawaii and the power of Earth Month, the hosts unpack how plastic pollution, sunscreen ingredients, and even our laundry habits ripple into larger environmental consequences.
You’ll hear how a whale necropsy left a lasting impression, why your swimsuit might be shedding microplastics, and how one simple swap (hello, reef-safe SPF!) can be a small but mighty wave of change. This episode is all about showing up—at the shore, in your shower, and in your community—to protect the water that connects us all.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How the ocean is a mirror of our habits on land (for better or worse)
Why plastic pollution is harming marine ecosystems—and what we can do about it
The importance of reef-safe sunscreen (like Project Reef (https://projectreefsunscreen.com)) to protect coral health
How to talk to your kids about conservation in ways that stick
What to look for in eco-friendly fabrics and low-tox laundry routines (also see Episode 27: Why Ditching Plastic In Fashion Is A Good Idea (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coast-to-the-heart-a-podcast-with-aimee-and-andee/id1723439638?i=1000662279511))
