In December 2019 the men of Team Ocean 5 will participate in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. This race is considered to be the toughest ocean race in the world! The challenge is to row more than 3000 miles with an open, unsupported boat. From La Gomera, Canary Islands, to the English port, Antigua. This is something that will test the resilience of our team to the very extremes of what humans can achieve, something which has been achieved by fewer people than have been into space.
Ocean 5 will take up this challenge with the aim of making a difference in the fight for healthy oceans and the safety of our planet by raising funds for the Plastic Soup Foundation (PSF).
The PSF wishes Team Ocean 5 every success!
Our suspicion has been confirmed; the deposit on plastic bottles introduced on 1st July this year has indeed had immediate results. The proportion of bottles in the litter found has decreased by 37%!
A different understanding of the extended producer responsibility is needed if the amount of plastic waste is to be reduced.
On 18th of September 2021, it’s World Cleanup Day once again. All information about the kick-off in Amsterdam and the event can be found here.
