The Caribbean and Tennessee Student Environmental Alliance (SEA) is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a week of celebratory events from April 26 – May 3.

The week-long 15th anniversary and rebranding celebration continues from there, with Clean Catoosa and the launch of the Adopt-A-WaterWay program. Clean Catoosa runs from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on April 27 and clean-up crews will meet at either their designated put-in sites or at the Northwest Georgia Amphitheater. Folks from Chattanooga, Ringgold and Fort Oglethorpe will team up to clean up West and South Chickamauga Creek, as well as various other designated cleanup sites in Catoosa County. Following the clean-ups is a community hang out time, with live music, yummy food, and a chance to learn more about the organizations helping to keep our communities clean and healthy.

The 3rd day of the celebration, Bottles for Beers, will be held at WanderLinger Brewery in Chattanooga on April 28, at 4 p.m. Bottles for Beers provides locals the opportunity to clean up their community some plastic in exchange for amazing WanderLinger beers. The first 50 people to bring a bag of plastic will receive a free beer and pint glass courtesy of the non-profit. To get this prize, Each individual must turn in a grocery - garbage sized bag full of plastic bottles. The plastic bottles will then be used by all those present to create a community art project! WanderLinger will

be raffling off glasses, and other cool merch like T-shirts, as well as donating 10% of proceeds from the day to Caribbean and Tennessee SEA. Make sure to come learn about the amazing new Chattanooga brewery, and support a great cause.

The 5th day of celebration, Toss the Straw Tuesday, is the first of many Tuesdays where Chattanoogans can join with Caribbean SEA and local restaurants to say no to single use plastics. Drop by local restaurants like Southern Squeeze on Tuesday, April 30, to learn more about our new brand, and to support a local business that is committed to reducing its reliance on single-use plastics.

Meet outside the Outdoor Chattanooga Office in Coolidge park to learn more about nature on the Riverwalk, as well as our new brand and how much we’ve changed over the last 15 years from the amazing, strong woman who started the organization herself back in 2004. This event is free, but you
