Every year, we make a donation to the company or institution that best aligns with the theme of World Environment Day. This year’s theme is #Beat Plastic Pollution
Our donation to The Ocean Cleanup will help clean an area of ocean the size of approximately 12 football fields, or intercept over 4,100 plastic bottles from rivers.
The Ocean Cleanup was founded in 2013 by Dutch inventor Boyan Slat at the age of 18 in his hometown of Delft. This non-profit organization develops and scales up technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. The organization’s goal is to put itself out of business once the oceans are clean.
