Our Statistics through the years
Love Blue tracks measurable environmental and community impact, including pounds of debris removed, cleanups and response events hosted, volunteers engaged, Public Cleanup Stations maintained, active chapters, and partnerships formed. This data provides clear accountability and shows how time, funding, and community effort translate into real impact. Information is collected through standardized reports submitted by chapter leaders and event coordinators and reviewed at the organizational level.
