How an Instagram hashtag is inspiring thousands to protect the oceans
If you follow artists on Instagram, you likely know of the #DrawThisInYourStyle challenge. Now it's being used to help bring to life a small, unique and unknown part of the ocean…
Our oceans are under threat
From climate change to plastic pollution and overfishing, the threats to our oceans are more urgent every day. Oceans sustain all life on Earth. Now they need us to protect them.
End the age of plastic
Nothing that’s used for a few seconds should pollute our planet for a lifetime. We need to stop plastic pollution at the source, and that starts with making corporations change their ways.
Restore Forests. Restore Hope.
We need systemic change to avoid climate chaos. Companies must prove their products are not causing deforestation, reduce their meat and dairy use and restore ecosystems back to health.
People Power
This is where you come in. If you want a green and just world, we’ll march alongside you. If you’ve got ideas for how to get there, we want to learn from you. Let’s dream together, plan together and act together.
Be the changeChange the world
Imagine a world where forests flourish and oceans are full of life. Where energy is as clean as a mountain stream. Where everyone has security, dignity and joy. We can’t build this future alone, but we can build it together.
