Episode 109 - No Trash but Treasure: From Plastic Waste to Ocean Awareness | Ruben Hazelzet

Plastic pollution isn't a new topic. Everyone knows that too much (especially) single use plastic is being produced and thrown away. A big part of it ends up in the ocean where it creates problems for the animals, for the environment and - in one way or the other - comes back to us. No matter where humans or animals do live, we are all connected to the ocean, through water or wind. Luckily we know beautiful Non Profit Organizations working on change. One of them is Captain Fanplastic. In today's podcast episode, Maggy interviews the founder of Captain Fanplastic - Ruben Hazelzet. Captain Fanplastic raises environmental literacy amongst youth globally through experiential education. Driving behavioural change is one of the biggest impacts we can create in order to connect children more to their environment, prevent plastic pollution and manage waste better. This organization turns youth into friendly pirates who believe that waste is #NoTrashButTreasure. The big goal of Captain Fanplastic is to raise $10,000 to provide 20 under-resourced schools and 2,000 learners in South Africa with access to environmental literacy via the Captain’s Challenge Do-It-Yourself Boxes. These boxes include exciting literacy for young pirates and cleanup materials to inspire conscious action through storytelling and gamified cleanups. We have been able to donate to this organization already in SeptemberWe wish you a lot of insights with podcast episode 109!Your team of the SANUSPLANET FoundationIf you want to know more about Captain Fanplastic or if you want to support their beautiful mission, go to: https://captainfanplastic.com/Of course you can support amazing NGOs daily automatically by using or accepting SANUSPAY!
