📰 Mangroves clean up $8.7 billion of nitrogen pollution annually, per study.

Nitrogen pollution is a known problem in agriculture, other human activities, and wreaks havoc in aquatic ecosystems.

➕ Add this to mangroves being valuable carbon sinks, coastal defense against storm surges, a buffer against erosion, among other benefits.

SUCCESSFUL GLASS RECYCLER ALSO BUILDS WETLANDS

🍾 Franziska Trautmann started a recycling facility in a backyard 5 years ago. Now she's Louisiana's biggest glass recycler.

✋ She has fought against the many obstacles that keep glass recycling in the U.S. to only around 30%.

🦉 The facility operates 3 days a week. Her team uses the other days, with some of their glass, to build coastal wetland islands. And wildlife is returning: Birds, gators, crabs, otters.
