Run a SHiFT Workshop
From understanding the plastic problem, exploring different solutions from sea to source and identifying opportunities to take action, SHiFT Workshops are designed to help people find their role in solving marine plastic pollution. Developed by ocean advocate and eXXpedition co-founder Emily Penn, these workshops are a great interactive activity to engage students, athletes, or different departments of your company around the causes of and solutions to plastic pollution.
80% of plastic waste come from land, and we need to develop solutions upstream to turn off the plastic tap.
