Creating ocean activists everywhere. It's time for some Trash Talk.Every minute, an estimated 100,000 pieces of plastic packaging are created by UK supermarkets. As part of Plastic Protest, we want pointless plastic to be removed from our shelves and a more thoughtful and circular approach to the packaging of products. Send your local supermarket and MP a letter to demand they support the latest Environment Bill amendment and put a stop to the plastic tide polluting our ocean. We're making headlines. Along with other leading campaigners, we've urged Sir James Bevan, Head of the Environment Agency, not to weaken his stance on the pollution and waste entering our water systems. Our ocean and rivers need ambitious, broad and legally enforced targets to tackle the crisis we're facing. We've already had over 27,000 people sign the petition, will you help us reach our target of 50,000? "Surfing and music have a curious communicative energy dancing through them both." Check out musician and photographer Mickey Smith's Instagram takeover with stories and images that capture his connection to the ocean, activism and the inspiration behind his new album. Power to the pupils. Sign up your school to our pupil-led Plastic Free Schools programme. Our ground-breaking platform gives teachers, educators and children the opportunity to stem the flow of single-use plastics into our playgrounds, rivers and the ocean and become part of #GenerationSea. Run for SAS! Keep fit, challenge yourself and raise money and awareness for our vital work by running a race for the ocean.
