There’s no silver bullet to solve #plasticpollution. This means our approach to studying the issue needs to be #diverse. We look at each piece of the puzzle to build up a complete picture of the problem to pinpoint where the solutions lie! 📸: @‌larkrisepictures

#Microplastics aren’t just in ocean - they’re in soil too. A study found sewage sludge use on farmland increased soil microplastics by 1,450% in 4 years, with particles lasting over two decades. With no current regulations, urgent action is needed to protect soil and food safety.

The #plasticpollution crisis can feel overwhelming - but this is your reminder that even the smallest actions matter. A positive mindset, small daily choices, and a belief in your impact can spark real change. It all starts with one step in the right direction.

Solving ocean #plasticpollution takes global, #multidisciplinary action. That’s why our diverse crews gain hands-on experiences, helping them apply their unique “superpowers” to drive impact - stopping plastic at the source, before it reaches the #sea. 📸: @larkrisepacific

The @CleanerSeasGp has opened the world’s first #microplastic recycling facility in Bude, turning 86 tonnes of fibres a year into new materials. While we must cut plastic at the source, innovations like this are vital for tackling the #pollution already in our #ocean.

Is it too late? At eXXpedition, we’re optimistic. The ocean is resilient and can recover if we act fast to reduce pollution and overfishing. If billions of microactions have caused the problem, it’s microactions that can solve it. 📸: Sophie Bolesworth

We love this quote from our ambassador, @natashapergl, about how we can make a difference! “Whether you’re a storyteller, scientist or a school teacher, every one of us possesses unique skills, our own superpowers. The key is figuring out how to harness them for the planet!”
