Ep 51. Good Citizens | 'Untrashing' the planet one pair of sunnies at a time

from One Wild Ride with Pru Chapman · host Pru Chapman, Nik Robinson

Good Citizens make sunglasses from 100% recycled, single-use plastic bottles. It was founded by Nik Robinson and his 8-year old son Harry with a mission to play their part in 'untrashing' the planet. Every pair of Good Citizens sunnies pays for 1kg of plastic to be pulled out of the ocean. It took Nik and his family 752 days & more than 2500 failed attempts to turn a plastic bottle into a pair of sunnies. Since then they've been featured in Forbes and National Geographic, spoken at the United Nations Global Conference & Tesla, and won The Design Files Sustainable Design Initiative for 2020.
