January 2025

Dive into 2025 with these six green resolutions and emerge a sustainability superstar.

  1. Lose the weight of guilt from inaction! Get moving for the planet by refusing single-use plastic, drive less-walk more, install energy-efficient appliances, recycle electronic waste, eat less meat and compost food scraps.
  2. Declutter & organize your closet – shop sustainable brands, go with natural fibers, buy locally or shop secondhand. Repurpose or donate the items you are clearing out of your closet.
  3. Change your diet – choose sustainably caught seafood paired with healthy vegetables from the farmer’s market to support local growers and switch to Bird Friendly® coffee to preserve habitats for birds and other animals.  
  4. Be open to love – the ocean, marine life, wild habitats and wild animals deserve and want your tender, loving care. 
  5. Don’t Carry Baggage from 2024 into the New Year—refuse single-use plastic bags by keeping reusable shopping and produce bags in your car or at the front door.
  6. Spend more quality time with loved ones by participating in beach or neighborhood cleanups. Watch our social media pages for fun-themed beach cleanups.

The NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher offers water refill stations, e-tickets and compostable utensils, cups and bowls at our on-site concessionaire. In 2024, Aquarium membership cards switched to digital, reducing single-use plastic waste. Our staff also composts food waste and only percolates and pours Bird Friendly® coffee, which is available in our Gift Shop!
