Kayak for free in return for collecting litter
GreenKayak works to reduce the amount of waste floating in our coastal waters. The idea is simple – volunteers get free GreenKayak trips in return for collecting rubbish. GreenKayak also shares knowledge, and helps people of all ages get out on our beautiful oceans and take action.
It's estimated that between 1.15 and 2.41 million metric tons of plastic enters the ocean every year via rivers.
