So it's not like that side does not exist. If you're a pessimist like those, those type of people tend to not create new companies or organizations like you do.
Plastic pollution in our oceans is a staggering problem, with the United Nations Environmental Program estimating around 46,000 pieces of plastic per square mile of ocean. In this episode of Unwasted: The Podcast, hosted by Imperfect Foods, you'll meet Mimi Ausland, a passionate activist and founder of Free the Ocean. Mimi shares her journey from animal advocacy to tackling the immense challenge of ocean plastics.
She discusses the alarming impact of single-use plastics on our planet and emphasizes the importance of education and awareness in fostering a more sustainable lifestyle. Mimi’s organization, Free the Ocean, draws inspiration from the click-to-give model of the Free Rice project and collaborates closely with Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii to physically remove plastic from our oceans. Mimi also dives into how everyday choices, like using compost tumblers and supporting green waste initiatives, can contribute to a healthier planet.
If you’re looking for practical ways to reduce your plastic footprint or simply want to be inspired by someone making a real difference, this episode offers a hopeful perspective. Tune in to hear Mimi’s story and find out how you can support Free the Ocean's mission. It's a conversation that not only highlights the gravity of plastic pollution but also sparks hope and action towards cleaner seas.
