Ever seen a face mask floating in the ocean? The pandemic had an environmental impact too and over 2500 women including 6 Olympians united to combat the surge in plastic pollution. 🌊 In 2020, Purpose and the Liga das Mulheres pelo Oceano developed a dynamic digital campaign, empowering athletes to drive change and protect our seas. Together, they raised awareness and inspired a national movement against ocean pollution which spread across the world. This Olympic season we are revisiting moments from the Purpose archive, celebrating the power of athletes and the sporting world, to drive real impactive change.

As Earth Day approaches once again, there will be a slew of activities being organised to commemorate the Earth but will also mainly be to rack up a few good points on the CSR register. Lets face it, how many of these initiatives actually become policies? Let s reflect on how we can make each day count as Earth Day. Community cleanups, tree planting campaigns and switching off the lights are not sustainable, to use a very poor pun. After all, how often we can go out with a bag and pair of tongs to the beach? Would we not rather play volleyball there? Nor can we keep the lights off forever. To give the Earth a longer lifeline, we need to inculcate sustainable lifestyles. Avoid the litter, avoid single use plastic. Use electricity and water conservatively. Do not fell trees indiscriminately. Nature's bounty is for us to use, not to misuse. Lets us remember the 3Rs - Reflect, Remember and Rescue. Or even the good old fashioned Reduce, Recycle and Reuse would work as well! #earthday #reuse #reducewaste #notosingleuse

Happy Earth Day! 🌍 This year's theme, ‘Planet vs. Plastic,’ underscores the urgent need to address the detrimental impact of plastic pollution on our environment and health. As highlighted by EARTHDAY.ORG the theme calls for a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040, with the ultimate goal of building a plastic-free future for generations to come. With over 1 million species facing extinction and our ecosystems threatened by pollution, Earth Day serves as a reminder of our shared responsibility to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Now, more than ever, it's essential that we unite and take action to combat the climate crisis, not just today but every day. Earth Day reminds us of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, urging us to take collective action. Together, let's inspire positive change and work towards a greener, healthier future for all. 🍃 #EarthDay #PlanetVsPlastics #ClimateAction #Sustainability #EnvironmentalResponsibility

Today, as a proud member of YOUNGO, I am sharing a special animated video I created for the CCCL Film Festival to highlight the urgent need to care for our environment. As we face the realities of climate change and pollution, it's crucial to reflect on our habits and their impact on our planet. Remember, protecting the Earth’s land includes safeguarding our icebergs, which are vital habitats for many inhabitants, animals, and ecosystems. Did you know that an estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste enters our oceans each year? This alarming fact underscores the importance of reducing pollution and protecting marine life. For this World Environment Day, by joining the #GenerationRestoration movement, we commit to restoring our ecosystems, protecting our oceans, and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. Every small action counts, and together, we can create a healthier, better world. #LinkedIn #WorldEnvironmentDay #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalAwareness #SaveOurPlanet

As we mark Earth Day, let's confront a grave truth: Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic are cast into our oceans, devastating marine life and delicate ecosystems. Today, I challenge each of us, myself included as a committed environmentalist, to cut down on plastic use and shift towards sustainable alternatives. I strive daily to minimize my ecological footprint, actively choosing to reject plastic whenever possible and pushing myself to maximize reuse. Even the simple act of segregating organic waste significantly reduces our daily trash footprint. Organic materials belong in the soil, not trapped in plastic for millennia. By joining forces, we can mitigate this damage and preserve our planet for future generations. 🌍💚 #EarthDay2024 #PlanetVsPlastic #ActNowForNature https://lnkd.in/gK3uFtwj

🌊 World Oceans Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of our oceans. The ocean covers over 70% of the Earth's surface and plays a crucial role in regulating our climate, providing food and livelihoods for millions of people, and supporting biodiversity. 🐠 The ocean plastic crisis has brought to light the need to protect our oceans from pollution. This inspired us to start Ocean Recovery Group, a company dedicated to building businesses around social initiatives that promote sustainability and environmental conservation. Our goal is to create a more sustainable future for our planet by reducing plastic waste and promoting circular economies. 🌏 By focusing on social initiatives and sustainable practices, we believe that businesses can make a positive impact on the environment while also driving economic growth. It is essential for companies to take responsibility for their environmental footprint and work towards creating a more sustainable world for future generations. #WorldOceansDay #worldoceanday #ProtectOurOceans #OceanConservation #SustainabilityMatters #EnvironmentalAwareness #CircularEconomy #Plasticcrisis
