Add community action to your event

Plastic debris on the beach organised by colours

If you are already organising an event, why not add an element of community action to tackle plastic at the same time! Bring in activities and content that engage people with the environment in ways that relate to your organisation – clean ups, plastic waste art competitions, design challenges, film screenings or anything else. Find ways to incorporate protecting the oceans at your next event.

Globally, the world produces over 390 million tonnes of plastic per year, the equivalent weight of all humans on earth.
