Together we can!
More and more great actions and initiatives are on the rise! The following attracted our interest most.
The Raw Foundation
This foundation is a consumer-facing organisation that targets plastic from environmental life-cycle perspective and their aim is to reduce the amount of plastic (i.e. bottles) and promote sustainable re-use solutions. Just like us! They are championing tap water Just like us!
What they do. Next to raising awareness, making preventive education materials and setting up award schemes, they make plastic free festival guides for organizers and goers!
Their biggest campaign. They led the world's first expedition to explore the length of Africa from Cape Town to Cairo to shine a global spotlight on the scale and peril of plastic pollution, to raise awareness about the true extent of 'transboundery' plastic pollution and to inspire action worldwide.
What they found. Over 17,000km bush camping they found plastic everywhere of which 18% were bottles.

National Geographic Netherlands
This month National Geographic is doing the #STOPMETPLASTIC (stop with plastic) challenge, whereby the whole month everything from documentaries, tips and plastic stories on all their media canals will be in the spirit of stopping with plastic to raise attention to the problem.
Their Goals: one month no use of straws, coffee cups, cutlery, cotton swabs, bags and of course bottles! Plus everybody who is challenged should save it plastic separately and should pick up all the plastic seen on the ground.
