Be Part of it!

Collect plastic waste that affects the breeding grounds of endangered turtles in Cape Verde, giving back to the community by upcycling.

We are about to go live in our first Crowdfunding to go overseas, to help clean a vast beach where 5 species of endangered turtles nest every year. This is an affected area due to oceanic currents and social unawareness. We will then use the collected plastic to produce items that can be used by the poor local communities.

Are you in?

Another healthy solution to plastic straws!

29/03/2019

Today we are in Porto Portugal.
Unfortunately the scenario is the same in Leça da Palmeira beach has many others across the globe, massive piles of plastic and small detritus all around... many plastic bottles, straws, bottle caps, plastic foil, etc etc... we heard that the coast guard is doing campaigns collecting the big bits but unfortunately they can only pick up around 20% of all existing pollutants because they don’t have the man power or the means to do the job on a larger scale.

Shall we do a campaign here? Who would be available to help us organise this? Please get in touch and let’s discuss how we can do something about it.

Lots of love
