Our mission is to inspire and catalyze action toward a plastic-free future through adventure, education and youth empowerment.
Plastic pollution is a growing concern, and in this episode of the Hippie Haven Podcast, Callee sits down with Christian Shaw, co-founder of Plastic Tides. Shaw, an adventurer and storyteller, shares his mission to inspire action towards a plastic-free future. With a background in sustainability and business from Cornell University, Shaw and his classmates founded Plastic Tides, a non-profit dedicated to combating plastic pollution through education and youth empowerment.
Shaw talks about the organization's efforts to connect with young people worldwide, providing them with the tools and platforms to amplify their voices for environmental advocacy. From conducting expeditions to taking microplastic samples for global research projects, Plastic Tides is making waves in the fight against plastic waste. One of their significant achievements includes the ban on plastic microbeads, which contributed to the national Microbead-Free Waters Act.
In addition to discussing these initiatives, Shaw also addresses the impact of the pandemic on plastic pollution and offers practical advice on how individuals can contribute to reducing plastic waste. If you're passionate about sustainability and want to hear from someone who's making a tangible difference, this episode is a must-listen.
