Never Underestimate Your Own Power
Many of us have been following the story of Greta Thunberg and have watched her quiet action turn into a global movement. She is a perfect example of the power of a single person to create change. We are inspired in hearing a young voice speak truth to power and commend her bravery. It is high time the collective conscience realize how urgent the crisis of climate change truly is.
Our own journey started with a single person believing that turning off the tap on ocean plastic was a real possibility. We have been activated by that vision - and we are grateful of you, our supporters and advocates, for believing with us. You are all taking real action in fighting climate change.
Together, we have already recovered over 10 million pounds of ocean bound plastic. We've done this by empowering thousands of collectors and their families, and all through the support of companies and individuals like you. Of course, the journey is long - we encourage and support all efforts to raise awareness and create actionable responses to climate change.
Plastic Fact: 1 tonne of recycled plastic prevents 1.5 tonnes of greenhouse gasses from contributing to climate change.
