New Platform Introduced by Sailing Community to Combat Plastic Pollution and Climate Change

SailGP and Parley Team Up to Fight Marine Plastic Pollution

Marine plastic pollution is a pressing issue that is threatening our oceans and marine life. With more than 400 million tons of plastic being generated each year, it’s clear that we need to take action to combat this crisis.

One initiative that is leading the charge in the fight against marine plastic pollution is Parley for the Oceans and the Australian SailGP Team. Together, they have launched the SailGP vs Plastic campaign, which aims to raise awareness about the impact of plastic pollution on our oceans and climate change.

The campaign is focused on educating and inspiring action through a centralized platform that offers educational materials, information about community activities like beach clean-ups, and opportunities for discussion about climate change and plastic pollution. By engaging the sailing community and ocean lovers nationwide, the campaign hopes to advocate for a low-carbon future, promote sustainable solutions, and ultimately protect our environment.

It’s important to understand the connection between plastic pollution and climate change. Plastic production, use, and disposal contribute to global heating, with 99 percent of plastics being made from fossil fuels. This not only harms marine species but also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change.

The SailGP Impact League aims to make sustainability action an essential part of sports, with the goal of empowering more ocean voices in the movement for solutions. By engaging sailors and the global sailing community, the campaign hopes to inspire real action against plastic pollution and encourage eco-friendly practices to ensure our oceans thrive for years to come.

If you’re passionate about protecting our oceans and combating plastic pollution, consider joining the SailGP vs Plastic campaign and becoming part of the solution. Together, we can make a difference and ensure a sustainable future for our planet.
