In their own words

“Our mission Stop the plastic pollution as soon as possible! If we do not achieve this, we are leaving future generations with a terrible plastic plague. We are a ‘single issue’ environmental organization that is concerned with one thing: stopping plastic pollution at its source. As part of this mission, we call out the industry and government where they fall…”
