THANK YOU!
Thank you for signing up for the Pours for Positive Day of Service with One World Brewing. We are excited to get out into the community with Asheville GreenWorks and tend to our precious waterways. We will spend a couple hours of the afternoon cleaning the creek and Town Branch Trash Trout with a street clean up along the way. We'll meet at Pleb Urban Winery to kick things off. After your hard work be sure to visit One World Brewing to celebrate your accomplishments with a Legacy Lager!
Trash Trouts are purpose built stormwater litter traps. These traps sit in urban creeks and streams keeping manmade trash from entering main waterways. These devices are built to withstand the rigors of flashy rain events, yet passive enough not to harm the local fauna. Roadside littering accounts for approximately 75% of the trash in our nations waterways. Each time it rains, trash is funneled through our storm drain systems directly into our creeks. No filters or other mechanisms were in place to keep the trash from entering our waterways. Once the trash has entered the water, it will begin the process of photodegradation, whereby the petroleum based products such as plastics begin to break into smaller pieces known as microplastics. These tiny pieces of trash are in some instances consumed by wildlife with the majority of this debris will go on a journey that will take it through several states and rivers before finally ending up in the Gulf of Mexico.
One World Brewing's mission is producing high-quality beverages in a space that nourishes conversation, connections, in collaboration with local artists, musicians, and nonprofits, to create a positive inclusive community as one.
