Raising Awareness and Volunteering

Raising awareness today, to collect less tomorrow

Protecting the ocean begins long before collection. In schools, in the field, and at events, our teams and volunteers explain the journey of plastic, raise awareness among young and old, and give everyone the keys to take action.

A community that grows every month
