We wish all our Nordic friends a joyful summer by the sea. ☀💙 OFFSET OUR POSSIBLE IMPACT 🌊 We do our part to help offset ocean-bound waste that stifles landscapes and communities*1—because we can’t yet control what happens to our products and packaging once they’re out in the world. We focus our efforts on regions most impacted by waste, working with partners that are tackling waste and socioeconomic disparities.*1 By working together with partners to remove used materials from nature,†1 we’re taking steps toward a brighter tomorrow.

Sharing one of the creative signs made during the Creative Advocacy Practicum (CAPs) of our partner, @semillas_del_oceano Translation of their original post: "Today we present to you the “Creative Sign” of Fátima Casasola of CUNIZAB 🎨 Fátima wanted to capture the POLLUTION 😔 that affects our oceans, visibly showing that EVERYTHING we discard incorrectly, regardless of its material, becomes garbage and pollutes the environment. 💡 You too collaborate by spreading the impacts of pollution on the environment, and especially in the oceans. 🤓 Make sure you produce as little waste as possible. Do not discard any object until you have exhausted the reuse and/or recycling options. 💙 Thanks to Creative Action Institute for their support on this project."

Under the title Throwaway (‘’Throwaway’’ is a project that unearths the hidden history of waste in Europe while simultaneously highlighting its significance as a marker of social change. 52 individuals and six organisations in Brussels delved through the topic of waste with us). We can reflect on disposable culture. Trash as the centre of our cultural development. Upcycling as a creative alternative for the recovery and transformation of our belongings, spaces and objects, giving them a second life. The incredible thing is to observe how we have been able to generate such a degree of consumption that we have become the main generators of rubbish that is hidden, burnt and by some few recycled... let's keep rethinking our needs. https://lnkd.in/dMsHmn8k
