Paddle Against Plastic began with an expedition around the Cornish Coast – using adventure to capture people’s imaginations, and deliver a positive message.
Doom and gloom can be a real turn-off to action. So by using adventures to engage people helps to encourage positive action.
The more time we spend outdoors, the more likely we are to see the issues faced by our natural world, and the more likely we are to want to do something about it. Connecting to nature is the first step in driving positive change, and so adventure is the natural place to start this connection.
