Seattle Fidos Stay Hydrated at Dog Park During Winter Public Water Access Closures
The Meraki Society's inspiring initiative involves donating over 40 gallons of water every month to ensure our beloved Fidos stay hydrated throughout the winter season, when public water access in Seattle is temporarily unavailable.
As winter approached Seattle, the annual concern of pipes bursting due to the freezing temperatures returned. As a precautionary measure, the public water supply was temporarily shut down. In response to this, we decided to take it upon ourselves to help out in any way we could. We have been donating 40+ gallons of water every month to Magnolia Manor Park and will continue to during until Spring of the following year. Our primary motivation behind this act of kindness was to ensure that our furry family members, our beloved pups, stay hydrated during this winter season of play. We understand that access to clean drinking water is a basic necessity, and we wanted to contribute in any way we could to ensure that our fidos stay hydrated at the dog park in the next coming months.

Philippines Ocean Plastic Clean Up
The Philippines is the 3rd largest contributor to the world's plastic ocean waste and is a major concern of the Meraki Foundation. The country has a sachet economy that consists of thousands of islands, resulting in a waste management nightmare. Plastic makes for easy and cheap packaging but takes thousands of years to break down, and never fully leaves our earth. The effects of plastic pollution are dangerous to the livelihood of Filipinos, as well as the health of the oceans and animals within it. When plastic enters the ocean it enters our food chain- starting with the shellfish and ending on our plates.

Coastal Clean Ups
With the growing plastic problem, we volunteered to set up coastal cleanups around the country to help properly dispose the plastic that's been left behind.
Plastic Educational Events and Resources
We love that costal cleanups help keep our beaches safe, however cleanups alone will never be enough to reduce the ocean's plastic. We must reduce the amount of plastic consumed in order to fully protect our oceans and our people.
Every minute an equivalent to a truckload of plastic enters the ocean every minute. With plastic entering the ocean at this rate, we can’t clean it up by hand to fix or solve this issue. Therefore, Meraki Society will host educational events around the country that helps educate Filipinos on the growing plastic pollution problem and will provide resources on how they can reduce their personal plastic consumption and community consumption. These coastal cleanups will run year-round and event details will be posted accordingly.
