Our Mission

We’re a grassroots non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about the harmful impacts plastic pollution has on our oceans and communities in hopes of creating healthy, plastic-free waterways. Our goal is to empower folks to live sustainably on their own terms while fostering meaningful connections to the ocean.

A Healthy Ocean is a Healthy You

Did you know 70% of the oxygen we breathe is from the ocean? That’s 2 out of every 3 breaths we take! The ocean allows our Earth to sustain all life, from tiny phytoplankton to human kind. Polluted oceans cause harm to all life on Earth.

The Plastic Wave Project focuses on sharing education about how excessive plastic production causes problems for our planet and the people who live here. We believe that advocating for healthy oceans involves advocating for healthy people too.

 

 

WE’RE ALL ABOUT MAKING CONNECTIONS

We believe that real connections are the best way to inspire meaningful change to help our planet. These connections allow us to shift from an egocentric to an ecocentric frame of mind. Humanity is not separate and above the environment, we are a part of it.

So how on EARTH do we do this?

Our team hosts educational and ocean inspired events to share knowledge and facilitate conservation activities for everyone. Our events and programs are created with the purpose to encourage folks to incorporate their own version of sustainability into their everyday lives. Individual actions create ripple effects and it’s these ripples that begin to MAKE WAVES!
