Think Like It’s 1620!

Welcome to our Think Like It’s 1620 challenge. It was developed to commemorate the 400 year anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival on Cape Cod on their way to Plymouth and it’s still relevant.

Please tell your friends and family too!


1620 Pledge

The Think Like It’s 1620 Challenge
Take the pledge!

In honor of the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival on Cape Cod, visitors, native and current residents we want to keep the Cape clean. Our goal is to return the land and sea to the pristine condition it was in when the Pilgrims arrived.

How Does it Work? Pledge to one of the following:

  • Donate $16.20/month for 1 year ($194.40 total) to Take Care Cape Cod. Donations will be put toward funding of water bottle filling stations along the Pilgrim Trail, and may be used on other projects Cape-wide.
  • Clean up your community for 16 minutes and 20 seconds/month for one year (3 hours & 16 minutes total). You can track your progress using the Clean Swell app from the Ocean Conservancy. Use the team name Take Care Cape Cod and forward us your confirmation email from your clean ups.
  • Donate $16.20/month OR Clean up your community 16 minutes and 20 seconds/month (mix and match) for a year while reporting what you collect.
