SURFERS AGAINST SEWAGE

We’re a community dedicated to the protection of oceans, waves, beaches and wildlife. We fight long and hard to protect what we love, and we won’t stop until it’s completely clean, safe and protected for everyone forever. We’ll always care about water quality issues. ” Plastic is the new sewage” it is now the biggest threat to our beaches, our precious marine eco – system and our happiness.

Who We Are

Plastic Oceans International is a US-based 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization whose goal is to end plastic pollution and to foster sustainable communities worldwide. We operate with the belief that we can and must act locally in order to create change globally, and we do so through four key pillars of activity: Education, Activism, Advocacy and Science.

Through supportive programs aligned with our pillars, and driven by embracing the circular economy, our mission is to inspire and incite action that can lead to changes in consumer behavior, corporate practices and public policy. Collectively, these changes will lead to a reduction in plastic pollution, regenerative communities and a healthier planet for many years to come.

Cool Earth

Cool Earth exists because right now the world is in a climate crisis. We give cash direct to rainforest communities to fund projects that create choice, tackle the root causes of deforestation and protect vital carbon sinks.

The planet is getting hotter but there is still time left.

The climate crisis is no longer an event on the horizon, it’s here. How has this happened?

In the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels has released carbon dioxide into the atmosphere heating our planet. This rising heat (we’re talking one degree celsius) disrupts every natural process on earth and threatens the biodiverse systems that sustain our lives as we know them.

Deforestation is not the sole cause of climate change but it is significant, being responsible for 8% of CO2 emissions. More importantly, keeping rainforest intact can provide 23% of climate mitigation urgently needed to cool our planet. ^[1]

We are living in a time where more people than ever before are united against the climate crisis.

Never have we as a species seen so much consensus, and action, as we do in fighting the climate crisis. Protecting rainforest is desperately underfunded, but you can change that. We can fill in the gaps, make mighty leaps and transform the fate of some of the largest carbon sinks on earth.
