Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage
Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage welcomes you to the beautiful underwater world of Cape Cod ponds. This remarkable group of women, aged 64-85, swim in the freshwater ponds of Cape Cod collecting trash. Watch footage of their diving adventures, hear tales of their collecting expeditions, and see some of the trash (and treasure!) they discover. These Old Ladies are motivated by their affection for the animals and plants that inhabit ponds.
Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage was formed in 2017, and they have been cleaning up ponds on Cape Cod from Falmouth to Chatham ever since. Gathering small teams of swimmers, they sweep along the shallows, diving down to pick up litter. They have appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS, AARP, Yankee TV Series and the Drew Barrymore show.
